It is not possible to extend the recording duration time
of the timer recording set using the EPG application
timer setting.
This recorder is featured with an EPG timer auto extend
functionality that allows EPG timer recordings to be
made in case of broadcast early start (before the
scheduled start time) or broadcast late finishing (after
the scheduled end time).

by the broadcaster.

during recording, the recorder continues to record
until the time counter runs out.

if “TV Direct Rec” is set to “On” in “Features”
setup (page 83).
To cancel the Quick Timer
Press z REC repeatedly until the counter appears
in the front panel display. The recorder returns to
