Timer recording using the G-Code
®
programming system
This system makes programming timer recordings very
simple. Most TV guides publish G-Code programming
numbers with their program details. If you want to make
a timer recording of a program, you just input the
corresponding code. The date, start, stop and channel
settings are made automatically. All you have to do is tell
the recorder the recording mode, and whether it’s a
once-only recording or a regular recording.
1 Press ‘G-Code’ to display the G-Code program
screen.
You can also access this screen from the Home Menu
(press
HOME MENU , select Timer Recording , then G-
Code system. ).
2 Use the number buttons to enter a G-Code
programming number, then press ENTER.
To clear the last digit entered, press CLEAR .
3 If you want to change the recording quality, use
the / buttons to highlight Rec Mode, then use
the / buttons to change.
• See also Recording time and picture quality on
page 33 and Setting the picture quality/recording time
on page 34.
4 After making the settings, press ENTER.
• If you haven’t set up the guide channels (or at least
the guide channel for the G-Code programming
number that you entered), the recorder will prompt
you to enter the channel number that the TV program
is showing on.
Tip
• You can check the timer program settings by
displaying the timer recording screen.
