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.
There are three ways to program a timer recording; using
the Easy Timer Recording feature (see
Easy Timer
Recording below), using the G-Code programming
system (see Timer recording using the G-Code™
programming system on page 36), or using manual timer
recording (see Setting a manual timer recording on
page 37).
You can set the recording quality for your timer recording
in the same way as for a regular recording, but with the
added option of an
AUTO mode, which maximizes the
recording quality for the space available on the disc.
