Timer recording
Refer to the control reference on page 30.
When the recording drive is “DVD” and there is not enough
remaining space, recording automatically switches to the “HDD”. If
there is no disc in the tray or the disc cannot be recorded on or when
timer recording starts while copying, the recording drive will be
altered to the HDD.
≥The Direct Navigator shows which programmes were relief-
recorded (“ ” is displayed.) ( ➡ 36).
≥If the time remaining on the HDD is insufficient, as much of the
programme as possible will be recorded onto the HDD.
≥Relief recording is not activated when recording the programme
with VPS/PDC and it is extended so that it no longer fits on the
disc.
[HDD]
If you record a programme onto HDD repeatedly everyday or every
week using timer recording, the unit will record the new programme
over the old one.
This function can be used only when weekly recording or daily
recording is selected.

≥If a programme set for Auto Renewal Recording is protected or
while play back is taking place from the HDD, or while copying, the
programme will not be overwritten. Instead the programme set for
recording will be saved as a separate programme, and this
programme will be the one to be overwritten when the next Auto
Renewal Recording takes place.
≥Playlists made from programmes that were set for Auto Renewal
Recording are deleted along with auto renewal.
≥When there is not enough space on the HDD, the programme may
not be recorded completely.
VPS (Video Programme System) or PDC (Programme Delivery Control) is a very convenient system which records exactly from beginning to end
of the TV programmes set in timer recording, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or extension
of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted, for example, some special news is inserted, the recording will be paused
automatically and resumed when the programme continues.
[Note]
≥The beginnings of recordings may not be recorded correctly in some cases.

regular VPS/PDC signal. Depending on the signals sent from the TV stations, the VPS/PDC system may not work properly
even when “VPS/PDC” has been set to “ON”.
Timer recording will be performed in the normal mode (without VPS/PDC) even if it was
programmed for VPS/PDC.
In this case, even if the timer recording is performed, the programmed timer recording will not be
cancelled at that particular time but at 4 a.m. two days later.

programmes listed in the newspaper or
magazine change at a later date. Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when programming a programme whose start time has been
subsequently changed.
