Recording functions
6. Start time and stop time
Enter the recording start time and then the stop time.
To this end, and according to the features of the receivers, you must:
- either program the receiver with the same beginning and end times, then switch off the
DVD recorder and the receiver,
- or leave the satellite receiver switched on, on the channel to record, program the
DVD recorder, then switch it off.
Note: if you selected AV2 during step 4, you do not need to enter the start and stop times, since it is the
device that is connected that triggers the start and stop of the recording at the times set via its
programming menu.
7. Recording quality
Select a recording quality from the 6 proposed using the key.
*1: Best, *2: High, *3: Good, *4: Normal, *5: Basic, *6: Low.
Note: the choice of quality allows an adaptation to the remaining
recording time on a DVD disc. The lower the quality is, the more
space there will remain on the disc. For example the time
available on a blank DVD disc of 4.7 Gb in “Low” quality is
around 8 hours, while in “Best” quality the time will only be
around 60 minutes. The figure 1 to 6 is displayed in the
information banner when playing the recording. The quality choice
is only valid for one particular programming session.
For an automatic quality setting in relation to the time remaining
on the disc, activate the SmartRecord™ function (page 59).
8. VPS/PDC
Activate the VPS/PDC function using the key to trigger recording at the actual time of
the beginning of the broadcast. If the channel broadcasts VPS/PDC signals you can avoid the
consequences of any delays in broadcasting.This adjustment is only valid for this programming
