'Safety Slot'

Here you can enter a time (one to five minutes) when a programmed recording (Timer) should start earlier and end later. This could be necessary if the information from the GUIDE Plus+® system about the start and stop time always differ from the actual start and stop time (e.g. always 2 minutes).

You can use this function also for a manual programmed recording.

Please observe:

The DVD recorder switches on e.g. 5 minutes before the start time (recording in the Time Shift Buffer). As soon as it reaches the start time, the recording (red marker on the time bar) advances forward 5 minutes. As a result, the 'lead time' will not become effective until the start time is reached.
