Types of Recordings

There are two recording methods you can use:

LIVE RECORDING - You start a live recording by simply pressing the REC button while viewing video from an input source, such as the TV Tuner or AV Inputs. You control the length of a live recording by pressing REC multiple times for 30 minute intervals or by pressing STOP to end the recording. A live recording will end automatically if the disc is full.

TIMER RECORDING - You can also schedule a recording to automatically begin at a particular Date and Time using the DVD Recorder's built-in TIMER function. Recordings can be scheduled to re-occur once a week or daily. The DVD Recorder must be in STANDBY MODE in order for a scheduled Timer Recording to begin.

Automatically Adding Chapter Markers

You can set the recorder to automatically add a CHAPTER MARKER every 5 minutes during your recordings. During playback, this will allow you to skip forward or back in 5 minute intervals by using the NEXT/PREVIOUS keys on the remote. These chapter markers are compatible with most standard DVD Players as well.

You can also add chapter markers manually. This procedure is covered in EDITING YOUR RECORDINGS.
