Timer Recording
You can programme the unit to record up to 32
programmes within a month in advance. Daily or
weekly recordings are available.
Preparing for Timer Recording:
• Be sure to set the clock before programming a
Timer Recording. Refer to “Setting the clock” on
page 26.
• Check that the recording media (internal HDD or
DVD) has enough recordable space for the time
you set.
• Insert a recordable disc if you are recording to a
DVD.
• Use only the HDD or CPRM-compatible VR
mode DVD-RW discs for recording copy-once
programmes. (See page 30.)

the calculation of the total remaining time on the
HDD disc.

Refer to “PDC (Programme Delivery Control)” on

information is entered.
The icon will appear on the Front Panel
Display indicating one or more Timer Recordings
are in standby.
• To set another programme, repeat steps 2 to 4.
• When programmes are overlapped, a warning
message “Timer program overlap.” will appear.
For details on overlapped Timer Programmings,
refer to “Hints for Timer Recording” on page 38.
5 Press [TIMER PROG.] to exit.
• If you press [ ON / STANDBY] to turn the unit
to standby mode, it will turn on before 3 minutes
from the programmed recording time, and start
recording at the programmed recording time.
When the recording is completed, you will be
asked whether to turn off the unit. The unit will be
turned off automatically if you select “Yes” or if you
do not make any selection within 1 minute.
• To stop recording in progress, press and hold
[STOP S] for 2 seconds, or press [STOP S] on
the front panel.
Relay Recording:
If the disc runs out of the space during Timer
Recording to a DVD, or if there is no recordable
disc in the unit, it automatically detects it and
change the recording media to the HDD. This
feature is available only for Timer Recording but
not for OTR.
Note
• If you have not set the clock, the clock setting
window will appear instead of Timer Programming
List at step 1. Continue from step 3 in “Setting the
clock” on page 26 before programming the timer.
• If a basic recording or One-touch Timer Recording is
in progress on the VCR and the Timer Recording set
for HDD or DVD is about to begin, the unit will
automatically switch to the programmed channel
within 15 seconds before the programmed time, and
the recording in progress on the VCR will be
cancelled UNLESS their recording channel is the
same. If their recording channel is the same, the
Timer Recording for HDD or DVD will start without
cancelling the recording currently in progress on the
VCR. In this case, the recording of the same channel
will be made on both VCR and the HDD or DVD.
