After entering all the timer recording

information, highlight ‘Program set’ and press
ENTER.

The timer recording list screen is displayed again. The
timer program you just input appears in the list. The
rightmost column shows various timer recording status
messages:

Standby

is displayed when the recorder is in timer

recording standby.

is displayed when a timer recording is in

progress.

To exit the timer recording screen, press HOME

MENU.

Note

• For a DVD timer recording, if

Optimized Rec

(see

Optimized Rec

on page 108) is set to

On

(and VPS/

PDC is off), the recorder will adjust the recording
quality to try and fit the recording on the disc. If the
recording will not fit onto the disc even on MN1
recording quality then the Recovery Recording
feature will automatically make the recording to the
HDD instead.

• If there is very little free space left on the HDD, an

Auto Replace Recording may not complete
successfully.

• If the HDD is being used for playback or high-speed

copying when an Auto Replace Recording is due to
start, the new timer recording will not replace the old
one. However, the next time the timer recording
starts, both of the older two programs will be erased.

• If you set the timer recording to use VPS/PDC, you

must switch the recorder into standby before the
timer recording is due to start for it to work correctly.
For non-VPS/PDC timer recordings there is no need
to switch the recorder into standby.

Tip

• Stations that use VPS/PDC typically include VPS/

PDC information in the teletext TV guide pages.
Please refer to these when setting your timer
recording.

Timer recording using the ShowView

programming system

This system makes programming timer recordings very
simple. Most TV guides publish ShowView programming
numbers with their program details. If you want to make
a timer recording of a program, you just input the
corresponding code. The date, start, stop and channel
settings are made automatically. All you have to do is tell
the recorder the recording mode, and whether it’s a
once-only recording or a regular recording.
