Advanced timer recording

Relief Recording

When the recording drive is “DVD” and there is not enough remaining space, recording automatically switches to the “HDD”. If there is no disc in the tray or the disc cannot be recorded on or when timer recording starts while copying, the recording drive will be altered to the HDD.

The Direct Navigator shows which programmes were relief- recorded (“ ” is displayed.) (29).

If the time remaining on the HDD is insufficient, as much of the programme as possible will be recorded onto the HDD.

Auto Renewal Recording

[HDD]

If you record a programme onto HDD repeatedly everyday or every week using timer recording, the unit will record the new programme over the old one.

This function can be used only when weekly recording or daily recording is selected.

[Note]

If a programme set for Auto Renewal Recording is protected or while play back is taking place from the HDD, or while copying, the programme will not be overwritten. Instead the programme set for recording will be saved as a separate programme, and this programme will be the one to be overwritten when the next Auto

Renewal Recording takes place.

Playlists made from programmes that were set for Auto Renewal Recording are deleted along with auto renewal.

When there is not enough space on the HDD, the programme may not be recorded completely.
