VPS/PDC
– The VPS/PDC system automatically
adjusts the recording time so that even if a program
is not running to schedule you won’t miss it. For VPS/
PDC to work properly, you must input the correct
announced time and date of the program you want to
record. Up to eight timer recordings can be set with
VPS/PDC on.
Note that VPS/PDC may not work with every station
and that Optimized Recording will not work if VPS/
PDC is on.
•
Recorded Title Name
– Optionally, you can enter a
name for the recording up to 32 characters.
4 After entering all the timer recording
information, press ENTER.
The main timer recording screen is displayed again. The
timer program you just input appears in the list.
• If
Optimized Rec
(see
Optimized Rec
on page 104) is
set to
On
(and VPS/PDC is off), the recorder will
adjust the recording quality to try and fit the
recording on the disc. If the recording will not fit onto
the disc even on MN1 recording quality then the
Recovery Recording feature will automatically make
the recording to the HDD instead.
5 To exit the timer recording screen, press HOME
MENU.
Note
• When Optimized Rec is On, Optimized Recording
takes priority over Recovery Recording when
recording to DVD. In other words, if there’s not
enough space on the DVD disc for the recording to
complete on the recording quality set, the recorder
will first try and adjust the recording quality. If the
recorder can’t compensate using a lower recording
mode setting, then the HDD is used for Recovery
Recording.
• If there is very little free space left on the HDD, an
Auto Replace Recording may not complete
successfully.
• If the HDD is being used for playback or high-speed
copying when an Auto Replace Recording is due to
start, the new timer recording will not replace the old
one. However, the next time the timer recording
starts, both of the older two programs will be erased.
