Programming a recording or a transfer
Your DVD recorder lets you program recordings or transfers. Programming several recordings is
really useful when it uses the high capacity of the hard disc, thereby enabling you to go beyond
the limited capacities of DVD R/RW discs.You can programme recordings using the manual 9 step
method or by choosing, for channels which broadcast the programme guide, the Naviclick
programming.
