Rec Mode Adjust
If there is not enough available disc space for the
recording, the recorder automatically selects the
recording mode that will record the entire
programme. To use this function, select [AT] for
the recording mode and set [PDC/VPS] to [Off].
If timer settings overlap
If timer settings overlap, [Dup. Date] will appear
in the Timer List. For details, see “When timer
settings overlap” (page 46).
To confirm, change, or cancel timer recording
See “Checking/Changing/Cancelling Timer
Settings (Timer List)” (page 46).
z Hints
• You can play the recorded programme by selecting the
programme title in the Title List menu.
• You can use the recorder after setting the timer. Just
press DVD '/1 to turn on the recorder. Press DVD '/
1 again to set the recorder to standby mode before the
timer recording starts.
Notes
• Check that the clock is correctly set before setting the
timer recording. If not, the timer recording cannot be
made.
To record a satellite programme, turn on the satellite
tuner and select the satellite programme you want to
record. Leave the satellite tuner turned on until the
recorder finishes recording.
• The recorder must be in standby mode for the timer
recording to be made.
• Even if the timer is set, timer recordings cannot be
made while recording a programme that has priority.
• Even if the timer is set for the same daily or weekly
programme, the timer recording cannot be made if it
overlaps with a programme that has priority. [Dup.
Date] will appear for the overlapped setting in the
Timer List. Check the priority order of the settings
(page 46).
• The Rec Mode Adjust function only works with a timer
recording and the PDC/VPS function set to off. It does
not function with Quick Timer (page 48).
• The beginning of some recordings may not be made
when using the PDC/VPS function.
• If the TIMER REC indicator flashes on the front panel,
check that a recordable disc is inserted correctly and
available recording time on the disc is enough.

ShowView system

setting the timer. Just enter the ShowView number
listed in the TV programme guide. The date, time,
and channel of that programme are set
automatically.
