[Note]
≥When the program timer reaches the set time when in record-
ing standby mode, timer recording will start even if the unit is
playing or recording another program.
≥
The actual time recorded may be longer than the program itself
when television programs are recorded using VCR Plus
i
.
≥If you don’t select a recording mode when using VCR Plus+
codes to make a timer recording, the unit sets the mode
selected on the unit at that time (unless the mode is “XP”, in
which case the unit sets “FR” as the mode).
≥“All timer programs are occupied.” appears if there are
already 32 programs.
≥The remaining time displayed is based on the current record-
ing mode.
≥When you program successive timer recordings to start
immediately one after the other, the unit cannot record the
part at the beginning of the later programs (a few seconds
when recording with HDD or DVD-RAM, and approximately
30 seconds when recording with DVD-R).
≥If you set DST (Daylight Saving Time) to ON when manually
setting the clock (➜page 55), timer recording may not work
when summer switches to winter and vice versa.
≥“
F” flashes when the unit couldn’t go to timer recording
standby.
≥When timer recording starts, the record lamp (➜page 13,
Main unit) lights, even if the unit is off.
Relief Recording
When the recording drive is set to “DVD” for timer recording, the
unit will automatically evaluate if the program will fit onto the disc
before beginning recording. If the program will not fit then the
recording drive will be altered to “HDD” automatically.
≥If the time remaining on the HDD is insufficient, as much of the
program as possible will be recorded onto the HDD.
≥If there is no disc in the tray or the disc cannot be recorded on,
the recording drive will be altered to HDD.
≥The recording mode will not be altered.
≥The Direct Navigator shows which programs were relief-
recorded (➜page 19).
