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.) (➡ 36).

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

≥Relief recording is not activated when recording the programme with VPS/PDC and it is extended so that it no longer fits on the disc.

[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.

VPS (Video Programme System) or PDC (Programme Delivery Control) is a very convenient system which records exactly from beginning to end of the TV programmes set in timer recording, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted, for example, some special news is inserted, the recording will be paused automatically and resumed when the programme continues.

When VPS/PDC recording

≥Use VPS/PDC time for recording the TV programmes.

 

≥If a programme listed in a newspaper or magazine has two SHOWVIEW numbers, use the

 

SHOWVIEW number for VPS/PDC.

 

≥VPS/PDC will activate when in this unit is set to standby mode. While this unit is on, recording

 

starts and finishes at times you set initially.

 

≥Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when recording time is not VPS/PDC time.

 

≥VPS/PDC recording is not performed when VPS/PDC time is incorrect, even if only by one

 

minute. To find out VPS/PDC time, consult Teletext, a newspaper or magazine, or other source.

 

≥If you made a timer recording using the GUIDE Plus+ system, the default setting for Germany and

 

Austria is “ON”.
