Problem with Panasonic DVD Player

[smurfchops]

I have been using deleted DVDs, fine up until now. Suddenly when I tried to DVD The X Factor for tonight, although the DVD had been deleted, it kept saying "This programme overlaps with others, do you still want to record". How can it overlap, if the DVD is empty. I even formatted a new DVD and it said the same thing. I found that some programmes didn't get this window, and some did. I pressed Yes to record anyway, so we will see if it works. Is there a problem with my DVD player ??

It probably meant that the program overlapped timewise with another program that you had already scheduled to record

rojash is probably right, I have a panny dvd recorder and it tells you that the tv programs you want to watch are on at the same time and on a different channel, could be 5 mins or the whole program, depends when they start and finish. It's not a problem when you are recording progs on the same channel, only sometimes when selecting more than one channel. The recorder is fine. Or.... have you set it to record programs in the past and left the details in the recorder? Check out what's stored in the timer memory in case it's cluttered. Mine keeps it's memory of stuff I forgot to press the timer button for and it doesn't go away until you manually clear it. Hope this helps..Dagman

I deleted everything on the DVD before I tried to record, I even put a new, empty DVD in and still got this message .... anyway, I attempted to record X Factor and it worked fine. Wonder what this message means though ?? I know what you mean about overlapping but I had no programmes outstanding !!
