Pioneer DVR-220 question

[Razortceps]

Ok well I got really frustrated last ngiht with my machine and almost smashed it against the floor. So heres what happened. I did a timed recording last night. The recording was goign to be put on 2 discs. The first disc I had timed to record from 6:30-820pm, even though I as going to come home at 8:00 to change the disc and start recording on the new disc at that time. However I still set it to 8:20 in case the basketball games 2nd quarter ended a little later than usual. So I get home and the quater eneded up ending at 8:05. So Im like great I wont be late on my dinner from work. So I go to click stop to switch the discs and it wont let me!!! Again I clicked the stop recording button. However, it said disc is in the middle of a timed recording and can not go through with this action. So then i tired clicking just the regualr stop button that didnt work. I was so ticked off!!! Then I tried clicking the open/close disc tray button. It wouldnt open or stop the recording. GRRRR!!!! So I even resorted to pulling hte plug and plugging it back in. But that d-a-m-n thing just started recording again. Finally, and I dont know how I did this, I got it to stop after becoming very mad and bashing at every button. Could someone people tell me how to stop recording in the middle of a timed recording. Thanks.

Read the manual

Try hitting the stop button, works for me on a Sanyo recorder.

homie you needs to get a 520H and dub all them shits to a hard drive so you dont gotta mess around with al that other bullshit

You need to hold down the record button for three seconds to cancel the programmed recording before you can press the stop record button.

See yea thats were I got lost...I held down the record button like it said...but didnt know I also had to hit the stop button afterwards. I just thought holding the recrod button down would stop it. Thanks. And yes Mr. Strong, Im goint to get a 520H or 533H when it comes out.
