TIMER RECORDING EN 45
Weekly/Daily Recording
You can record programmes with one of the following weekly/daily timer settings.
For the HDD deck
When you select a mode other than ONCE, the space on the hard disk drive is saved for new recordings by overwriting previous recordings. To prevent loss of a needed recording, backup programmes you wish to save by dubbing them to DVD discs before overwriting previous recordings. Or save the title of weekly/ daily programmes to avoid overwriting of a previous week/day. ( pg. 47)

These code signals control your video unit and have precedence over the advertised times you may have preset into the timer.

—even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.
