Recording programmes from the TV Guide
The advantage of recording from the TV Guide is that you can
record specific programmes instead of choosing channel time slots.
You can only do this if the programme information is provided by the
channel broadcaster.
Recording modes: Timer or Programme
The recorder can handle two programme recording modes using the
TV Guide:
recording at a fixed time (Timer mode)
recording by event (Programme mode).
Timer mode
By programming a recording using the TV Guide, the recorder
memorises the channel, the date and the announced start and end
time of the programme to record.
The recorder then records the specified channel at the day and time
specified.
To avoid possible shifts between the announced schedules and the
actual schedules of broadcast, you can specify safety margins in your
User Preferences. The recorder will then begin and stop recording
from1 to 15 minutes before and after the announced time.
Programme mode
By programming a recording using the TV Guide, the recorder
memorises information of the programme to record, provided by the
broadcaster: name, summary, date, channel and time of broadcast.
As the beginning of recording approaches (10 minutes before the
announced time), the recorder monitors the channel and awaits the
broadcast signal marking the beginning of the programme. The
recorder begins recording only when the programme starts.
When the signal marking the end of the programme is received, the
recorder stops recording.
You can customise in your User Preferences the recording mode to
be applied by default and the safety margins to be applied in the
Timer mode (see Setting your User preferences, page 28).
Recording programmes using the TV Guide
1 Press the key or select > Scheduled > TV
Guide.
2 Select the channel and programme you want to record.
3 Press the [Record] key to schedule the recording of the
selected programme.
The recording icon appears in the programme cell.
4 Repeat the operation for all the programmes you want to
record.
If a recording is conflicting with another recording
(scheduled at the same time), the recorder will ask you to
resolve the schedule conflict.
If the programme you want to record is part of a series
(symbolised by a multipage icon above the programme
start time), the recorder will ask if you want to record the
single episode or all future episodes of that series.
If the programme you want to record is also broadcast in
HD, you will have the choice to record in SD or HD.
If the broadcast information includes a recommendation
for a similar programme, you will also be able to choose to
record the recommended programme.
5 To cancel the recording of a programme move the cursor to
the cell then press the [Record] key.
Note
• Editing a recording scheduled from the TV Guide, page 14 is
possible, but by doing so, you will lose all automatic
information update (automatic reschedule, series recording,
etc.). We recommend that you delete instead the event in the
Recording Timer, page 14 list and reschedule the recording
from the TV Guide, page 14.
Note
• If you manually edit a recording that has been scheduled from
the TV Guide, you will lose all automatic information update
made available by the EPG (automatic reschedule, series
recording, etc.).
