Timer Recording
This recorder can be programmed to record up to 16
programs within a period of 1 month. For unattended
recording, the timer needs to know the channels to be
recorded, the starting and ending time.

you must format the disc before starting timer
recording. (Refer to “Disc Format” on page 20.)

Note that VPS/PDC may not work with every
station.
