The timer recording feature is a major highlight of the NV-SJ400A, enabling users to set recordings in advance while they are away. This functionality was particularly popular among busy households, allowing for the effortless capture of favorite shows or events without the need for manual intervention.

Lastly, the compact design of the NV-SJ400A makes it a space-saving addition to any home entertainment setup.
