seconds to lock the controls.
The front panel display briefly shows LOCK . If any buttons
are pressed on the remote or front panel, LOCK is briefly
displayed again.
• To unlock the recorder, press and hold on the front
panel for three seconds until the display shows OK .
• To cancel a timer recording when the recorder is
locked, first unlock the recorder (see above), then

Timer recording FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
• Even though the timer is set, the recorder d oesn’t start
recording!
Check that the disc loaded is recordable, not locked
(see
Lock Disc on page 81), and that there are fewer
than 99 titles already on the DVD.
• The recorder won’t let me enter a timer program! Why
not?
You can’t enter a timer program if the clock isn’t set.
• What happens when two or more timer programs
overlap?
Basically, the program with the earlier recording start
time has priority. However, the recorder will start
recording the program with the later start time after
the earlier program is finished. If two programs have
the same times (but different channels, for example),
the program displayed higher up in the list in the
timer recording screen has priority.
Recording from an external
component
You can record from an external component, such as a
camcorder or VCR, connected to one of the recorder’s
external inputs.
1 Make sure that the component you want to
record from is connected properly to the DVD
recorder.
See Chapter 2 ( Connecting up ) for connection options.
2 Press VIDEO INPUT repeatedly to select one of
the external inputs to record from.
There are two analog inputs. The current input is shown
on-screen and in the front panel display:
• On-screen : AV2/L1 (front panel disply: L1 ) – Input 1
• L2 – Input 2 (front panel)
Check that the Audio In settings for External Audio and
Bilingual Rec are as you want them (see Audio In on
page 84).
• If the aspect ratio is distorted (squashed or
stretched), adjust on the source component or your
TV before recording.

Setting the picture quality/recording time on page 64
