The setting is indicated in the front panel display, and
shown on-screen together with the recording time for a
blank recordable disc. If a recordable disc is loaded, the

Basic recording from the TV
Follow the instructions below to record a TV program.
Recording starts immediately and continues until the
disc is full or you stop the recording.
1 Press HDD or DVD to record to the hard disk drive
or a recordable DVD respectively.
• If you’re recording to DVD, load a recordable disc (if
you load a new blank DVD-RW disc, the recorder
takes a short while to initialize the disc).
2 Use the CHANNEL +/– buttons to select the TV
channel to record.
The front panel display shows the channel number:
• While the recorder is stopped, you can also use the
number buttons on the remote to select the channel.
(For channel 6, press
6 then ENTER; for channel 24,
press 2, 4 then ENTER)
• If the recorder is stopped, you can also use the +/–
buttons on the front panel to select the channel
number.
3 Use the REC MODE button to set the picture
quality/recording time.
• See Setting the picture quality/recording time on
page 45 for detailed instructions.

channel to record.
Press repeatedly to switch between
Mono, Stereo and
SAP audio channels.
• When recording in VR mode, both mono and SAP

in which case you do need to select the audio
channel before recording.

recorder automatically switches into standby if no other
operation is being performed.

• If you set the recording time in the previous step, you
can still stop the recording anytime by pressing F
