Timer recording
This DVD recorder can be programmed so that it
can make up to seven recordings in a month. For
recording with nobody in attendance, the timer has
to know which signal sources (TV stations or from
AV devices) should be recorded, and it needs the
start time and the inputs which defi ne the record-
ing length.
Insert a writable disc and press .
The “Timer Recording“ menu is displayed.

SQ
PR: Select a stored programme number or
one of the external inputs for the recording.
Date: Select a date that lies, at most, one
month from the current date.
Start Time: Sets the recording‘s start time
(see Notes).
Length: Sets the duration of the recording.
Mode: Select a recording quality
(HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ, or AT).
The AT (Auto) mode establishes how much
disc time is available and, if necessary,
switches to the recording quality to stop
recording the programme (see page 24 for
the other modes).
Repeat: Select the repeat type that you
require (once, daily (Monday - Friday) or
weekly).
VPS/PDC: The VPS/PDC system automati-
cally alters the recording time so that you do
not miss the programme if the programme
schedule has been changed. For VPS/PDC to
work properly, you need to key in the VPS
time (which may differ from the actual time
of day - see the Notes below) and the date
of the programme that you wish to record.

Notes:
You should be aware that not all stations
work with VPS.
Stations that use VPS/PDC usually have
VPS/PDC information on their teletext pages.
Look for information on those pages when
you are going to make a timer recording.
It takes around 30 seconds for the recorder
to tune in and for recording to begin. If you
are using VPS/PDC, the fi rst few seconds of
the programme may not be recorded.
The actual time of day and the actual date
will have to be keyed into the DVD recorder
(see page 20).
The energy saving function of Centros must
be switched off (see page 21).
Input the information needed for your timer
recording(s).
 /  (left/right) – select the input fi elds
 /  (up/down) – changes the setting in
the active input fi eld.
The other options in this menu are:
OK - saves your inputs in the timer
(see point 3).
- closes the menu and discards the
inputs.
- opens the timer recording list.
When you press OK the DVD recorder saves the
programmed recording and displays the timer
recording list.
Check in the “Status“ column that the timer
recording has been programmed correctly and a
playable disc has been inserted.
Press to close the timer recording list.
Press to switch the unit to standby.
