Programming a recording or a transfer
Your DVD recorder lets you program recordings or transfers. Programming several recordings is
really useful when it uses the high capacity of the hard disc, thereby enabling you to go beyond
the limited capacities of DVD R/RW discs.You can programme recordings using the manual 9 step
method or by choosing, for channels which broadcast the programme guide, the Naviclick
programming.

Note: your DVD recorder can memorise the parameters of 16
different programmings, or 15 programmings and 1 transfer. In
the case of double programming, a warning message is displayed.
Name - Press the INFO key to access the keyboard table. Enter the name of the recording
letter by letter and confirm.
Channel - a) Enter the channel number using the digit keys of the remote control ( Pr -- must be
displayed) or browse the list of channels in the memory of the DVD recorder using the PR+/PR- .
b) Or select one of the Audio-Video (AV2, AV3) sockets to which is connected a device (satellite
receiver or other) using the B key.
Note: selecting the AV2 connector allows you to program the recording of a satellite receiver programme
(either left switched on or also programmed) connected to this connector. The selecting of the AV2 connector
is activated by default by the AV Timer function (triggering of programming via the AV connector).
Day(s) - Using the digit keys on the remote control type in the date, if the recording is not made
the same day, and / or select a period
using the B key.
Once: to record the selected programme according to the parameters you have defined.
Each Tue: to record the same programme the same day every week starting from today (supposing today
is Tuesday).
MON-FRI: to record the same programme, everyday at the same time from Monday to Friday.
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 channel setting, 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.
