Timer programming
The DVD Recorder needs the following information for
every programmed recording:
- the date on which the recording is to be made;
- the channel;
- the start and stop time of the recording;
- the recording mode
The DVD Recorder stores all the information mentioned
above in a timer block. You can program up to six timer
blocks, one year in advance.
When you have programmed the timer, a red line on the
disc bar (both on the display and on the Index Picture
Screen) indicate what part of the disc will be overwritten
by the programmed recording from the current disc
position.
When all timer blocks are full, timer programming and
VCR Plus+ system cannot be accessed. For clearing a
timer block, see ‘Cleaning a Timer block.’
When using timer recording.
We recommend that you set the timer recording at least
1-2 minutes ahead of the actual published program start
time to ensure the recording of all the desired broadcast
material.
This is due to the initial 20 seconds of spin time required
for the Disc to ready itself for operation. Also, it is normal
for networks to begin the broadcast of programs about
one minute prior to the announced time. This is done to
possibly catch the viewer’s attention as they channel scan
or surf through available channel selections.
