Timer Recording

This recorder can be programmed to record up to 16 programs within a period of 1 month. For unattended recording, the timer needs to know the channels to be recorded, the starting and ending time.

Note:

If you use a completely blank disc for timer recording, you must format the disc before starting timer recording. (Refer to “Disc Format” on page 21.)

The Timer Record menu will appear.

[Media] Choose a media to record (HDD or DVD).

[PR] Choose a memorized program number, or one of the external inputs from which to record. (You cannot select DV input.)

[Date] Choose a date up to 1 month in advance.

[Start Time] Set the start time.

[End Time] Set the end time.

[Repeat] Choose a desired repeat (Once, Daily (Monday - Friday), or Weekly).

[VPS/PDC] The VPS/PDC system automatically adjusts the recording time so that even if a program is not running to schedule, you won’t miss it. For VPS/PDC to work properly, you must input the correct announced time and date of the program you want to record.

Note that VPS/PDC may not work with every station.

Stations that use VPS/PDC typically include VPS/PDC information in the teletext TV guide pages. Please refer to these pages when setting a timer recording.

When using VPS/PDC, there may be instances where the beginning of the program is not recorded.
