•Over 12h – Recording time of over 12 hours set (when recording to the HDD the recording will be split into two titles).

•Overlap – Two timer programs partially or completely overlap. The one starting earlier will take priority.

•Until ... (eg., Until 13/8) – For a regular recording, the last program that could be recorded is shown.

•Data Over –Can’t record because the disc management area of the disc is full.

•Cancel Once – A regular timer program is set to skip.

•Can’t Rec – Not possible to record.

•Title Over – Can’t record because there is already the maximum number of titles on the disc (HDD: 999; DVD: 99).

Tip

Note

•If you set a DVD timer recording but there is no recordable DVD disc loaded, or the disc loaded doesn’t have enough free space for the complete recording, Recovery is shown. In this case (unless you load a suitable disc before the recording actually starts), the recorder will use the HDD for recording. (The message Can’t Rec will appear if there are already 999 titles on the HDD or if there is not enough free space on the HDD for recording.)

•For a DVD timer recording, if Optimized Rec (see Optimized Rec on page 96) is set to On, 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.
