Notes
To prevent recording errors
Set a scheduled recording period slightly
longer than the actual program (to make
sure the program is recorded in full).
Be sure to perform step 5 before the
scheduled recording time. When the
unit is turned off, “z” lights on the unit’s
display to indicate scheduled recording
standby has been activated.
“z” flashes when the unit cannot go to
scheduled recording standby. (e.g., a
recordable disc is not in the disc tray)
It does not flash if Quick Start is off.
When scheduled recordings are set to
start one immediately after another, the
unit cannot record the beginning of the
later program.
If two scheduled recording times overlap
the recording that started first always
has priority. The second recording will
start only after the first recording has
finished.
When starting time for a scheduled
recording is the same, the recording that
you programmed later has priority.
Depending on the Daylight Saving Time
(DST) settings for this unit, scheduled
recordings may be affected when the
seasons change. •
