Setting a timer recording
Using the timer recording features you can program up
to 32 timer recordings up to a month in advance. Timer
recording programs can be set to record just once, every
day, or every week.
You can set timer recordings to record to a recordable
DVD or to the hard disk drive. For regular (daily or weekly)
HDD timer recordings that you don’t want to keep, you
can use the Auto Replace Recording feature to
automatically replace the previous timer recording with
the new one.
You can also set the recorder so that it will adjust the
recording quality to try and fit the recording on the disc
(see
Optimized Rec
on page 96 for more on this).
Finally, if you set a timer recording to record to DVD but
there isn’t a recordable DVD loaded at the time of the
recording, the Recovery Recording feature will
automatically record the program to the HDD for you.
Important
• Timer recording can’t be used if:
– There is another timer recording in progress, or the
recorder is in timer record standby.
– Auto Start Recording is in progress.
– There are already 32 timer programs waiting to be
recorded.
• Timer recording will not start if:
– The recorder is already recording
– The timer programming screen is displayed on-
screen
– A disc is being initialized, finalized or unfinalized.
• Except for finalized Video mode discs, timer
recording will start when the operation preventing
timer recording has finished.
• The timer indicator lights in the front panel display
when the timer is active. If the indicator is blinking it
means that (for a DVD timer recording) there is no
disc loaded, or the disc loaded is not recordable (for
an HDD timer recording it means that the HDD is not
recordable).
• Timer recordings have higher priority than the Auto
Start Recording function (see
Automatic recording
from a satellite tuner
on page 52). A timer recording
will interrupt an Auto Start Recording. (Auto Start
Recording will resume after the timer recording has
finished.)
• Approximately two minutes before a timer recording
is set to start, the recorder will go into timer recording
standby (assuming that a recordable disc is loaded).
In timer recording standby you cannot use some
functions.
• If you change the
Auto Channel Setting
(from cable
to antenna or the other way around), existing timer
programs will be erased.
