Timers (DTV Timer Recording)

By setting the timer, you can record a Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T) programme with a VCR connected to EXT-2 or EXT-3 while you are out.

•Before using DTV timer recording, the VCR and TV must be connected up correctly. For details, see “Connection when recording to VCR” on page 54.

•When you have a T-V LINK compatible VCR connected to EXT-2, all you need to do is set the TV timer settings and the programme will be recorded.

By using “Direct Rec” of the T-V LINK function, the Direct Rec commands are sent from the TV to the VCR to automatically start and end the recording. It is not necessary to set the timer on the VCR.

•When your VCR is not T-V LINK compatible, you also need to set the VCR timer settings to match the TV timer settings.

•The recording may not start and stop at exactly the right times for some programmes. It is recommended that you allow some leeway when setting the recording times.

•Provided that the days and times are not the same, you can set up to five timer settings.

•When subtitles are ON, the subtitles displayed with the broadcast will be recorded. When you do not want to record the subtitles, you need turn OFF the Subtitle setting beforehand (See “Displaying the Subtitles” on page 24.).

•During DTV timer recording, you are unable to view the SET UP menu or the DTV menu.
