About timer recordings

Using the timer recording features you can
program up to 32 timer recordings up to a
month in advance. Timer recording
programmes can be set to record just once,
every day, or every week.

There are two ways to program a timer
recording; using the Easy Timer Recording
feature (see Easy Timer Recording on
page 39) or using manual timer recording
(see

Setting a manual timer recording on

page 40).

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 (if recording to DVD), or to fit on to a
blank DVD disc (if recording to the HDD).

You can set timer recordings to record to a
recordable DVD or to the hard disk drive. For
regular (daily or weekly) HDD timer
recordings that you don’t need to keep, you
can use the Auto Replace Recording feature
to automatically replace the previous timer
recording with the new one. Note that when

you use this feature, the previous recording
made on that timer programme will be
replaced by the next one, regardless of
whether you have watched it yet or not.

You can also set the recorder so that it will
adjust the recording quality to try and fit the
recording on to the disc if it would not
otherwise fit at the recording quality you set
(see Optimized Rec on page 114 for more on
this).

Finally, if you set a timer recording to record
to DVD but there isn’t a recordable DVD
loaded at the time of the recording, the
Recovery Recording feature will
automatically record the programme to the
HDD for you.

Important

• A timer recording can’t be set if there are

already 32 timer programmes waiting to
be recorded.

• Timer recording will not start if:

– The recorder is already recording.
– A disc is being initialized, finalized or
unfinalized.

• Timer recording will start when the

operation preventing timer recording
has finished.

• When the front panel display is set to

ON, the timer indicator (

) lights in the

front panel display when the timer is
active. If the indicator is blinking it
means that (for a DVD timer recording)
there is no disc loaded, or the disc
loaded is not recordable (for an HDD
timer recording it means that the HDD is
not recordable).

• Approximately two minutes before a

timer recording is set to start, the
recorder will go into timer recording
standby. In timer recording standby you
cannot use some functions.

• The maximum length for timer

recordings made to the HDD is 24 hours.
However, because one title (HDD) is
limited to 12 hours, recordings over
