5 Press [z TIMER].

The unit turns off and “z” lights on the unit’s display to indicate timer recording standby has been activated.

RAM

Even if the unit is in timer recording standby, play starts when you press [q] (PLAY) or [DIRECT NAVIGATOR]. Timer recording works even during play.

To release the unit from recording standby

Press [z TIMER].

The unit turns on and “z” goes out.

Be sure to press [z TIMER] before the programme start time to put the unit on recording standby. Timer recording will work only if “z” is displayed.

To cancel recording when recording has

already begun

Press [z TIMER].

You can also press and hold [g] on the main unit for more than 3 seconds to stop recording.

Note

z” flashes for about 5 seconds when the unit cannot go to timer recording standby (e.g., a recordable disc is not in the disc tray).

If the unit is not put in the timer recording standby mode at the latest 10 minutes before the programmed timer recording starting time, the “z” flashes on the unit display. In this case, press [z TIMER] to put the unit in the timer recording standby mode.

When you programme successive timer recordings to start immediately one after the other, the unit cannot record the part at the beginning of the later programmes (a few seconds when recording with DVD-RAM and approximately 30 seconds when recording with DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) and +R).

VPS/PDC function (page 41)

As long as a VPS/PDC signal is being broadcast by the TV station, even if the broadcast programme time changes, the recording time automatically changes to match the new broadcast time.

To activate the VPS/PDC function

 

In step 3 in the VPS/PDC column, press [e, r] to select “ON”.
