Timer Recording
Up to 8timer r ecording programs can be made using G-CODE/
SHOWVIEW timer programing (for HR-V600AG only) or Express
timer programing method as far as a year in advance. Remember,
the clock must be set before you can program the timer.
NOTES:
●If all the 8 programs have already been set, “PROGRAM FULL”
appears on the TV screen.
●After timer recording is completed, the recorder turns off
automatically.
●You can program the timer recording while a regular recording
is in progress; the menu screens will not be recorded.
●In case of a power failure after programming, the recorder’s

G-CODE™/SHOWVIEW™ System Setup

(For HR-V600AG only)
INFORMATION
G-CODE and SHOWVIEW are different trademarks used to represent
the same easy recording feature, but only the term G-CODE system
will be used in the instructions. If you use the SHOWVIEW system,
follow the same instructions listed for the G-CODE system.
The G-CODE timer programming system eliminates the need to
input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the
timer record function. Simply key in the G-CODE number for the
TV programme you wish to record (found in most TV listings) and
the recorder's timer is automatically programmed.
You have to set “GUIDE PROG” numbers, which are assigned to
each station for purposes of G-CODE timer programming, for all
the stations stored in your recorder’s memory to get proper results.
Before G-CODE setup you must have performed the procedures of
Tuner Set and Clock Set.
IMPORTANT
Perform the following procedure after Auto Set Up and/or the
channel setting steps.
After setting the Guide Program Numbers, channel positions may
be incorrect if you stored or skipped channels. In this case, re-
perform Guide Program Number setting.
