Direct record

With the Direct Record function switched ‘On’ and the DVD recorder switched to standby, the channel number selected on your television will be automatically taken over by the DVD recorder, at the moment it starts recording.

You can only use this function, when you have a satellite receiver, which can control other equipment by a ’programming’ function. In this mode your DVD recorder starts recording when the satellite receiver releases a signal. The start and end of the recording is controlled via one of the SCART sockets.

In the record settings menu, select ‘Sat record’.

In either case you can manually insert chapter markers afterwards. (See ‘Managing disc content’ - ‘Edit in playback mode’.)

Filter Mode

In long play or extended play recording mode you can select the ‘Sport’ setting to optimize the video recording for images that contain fast movements, like sports programmes. The setting does not influence high quality or standard play recording mode.
