≥ The remaining time displayed is based on the current recording
mode.
≥ Scheduled timer recordings will be activated even if playback
or other recording is already taking place.

DVD-RAM the first few seconds, and for DVD-R about the first
30 seconds of all programs from the second one onwards will
not be recorded.
≥ Timer recording will not be activated if editing, dubbing or Plug-
in Auto Tuning (
➜ page 12) is being carried out.
≥ If you set DST (Daylight Saving Time) to ON when manually
setting the clock (
➜ page 64), timer recording may not work
when summer switches to winter and vice versa.
≥ When timer recording starts, the record lamp ( ➜ page 7, Main

Relief Recording
When the recording drive is set to “DVD” for timer recording, the
unit will automatically evaluate if the program will fit onto the disc
before beginning recording. If the program will not fit then the
recording drive will be altered to “HDD” automatically.
≥ If the time remaining on the HDD is insufficient, as much of the
program as possible will be recorded onto the HDD.
≥ If there is no disc in the tray or the disc cannot be recorded on,
the recording drive will be altered to HDD.
≥ The recording mode will not be altered.
≥ The Direct Navigator shows which programs were relief-
recorded (
➜ page 26).
