Programming Priorities
When you have set up several timed recordings, it may occur that some of their times overlap. For
example, this can happen if you are set up to record shows on a daily or weekly basis, and a special
show comes on that you try to record during the same time slot.
The following charts will help you visualize how the VCR prioritizes the preset timed recordings. the
darker portions are program segments that would be recorded.
Shows with Same Starting Time: By Program Number
If the overlapping programs start at the same time, the VCR records in order that they were programmed.
If the shows are all scheduled to start at 7 AM, the VCR starts with the first program at 7 AM, and
switches to what remains of the second program when the first program is done recording, and so on.
Shows with Different Starting Times: By Earliest Program
If the programs start at different times, the VCR records the show scheduled to start earliest, records the
entire show, then moves on to the show with the next earliest starting time.
To avoid recording only bits and pieces of different overlapping shows, review your programming and
delete those shows that are not essential.
