Recording

06

You can also set the recorder so that it will adjust the recording quality to try and fit the recording on to the disc if it would not otherwise fit at the recording quality you set (see Optimized Rec on page 82 for more on this).

Important

A timer recording can’t be set if:

Auto Start Recording is in progress.

There are already 32 timer programs waiting to be recorded.

Timer recording will not start if:

The recorder is already recording

A disc is being initialized, finalized or unfinalized.

Except when finalizing Video mode discs, timer recording will start when the operation preventing timer recording has finished.

If a Video mode disc is playing when a timer recording is due to start, playback will automatically stop to allow the recording to start. (Simultaneous recording and playback is only possible with VR mode discs.)

The timer indicator lights in the front panel display when the timer is active. If the indicator is blinking it means that there is no disc loaded, or the disc loaded is not recordable.

Timer recordings have higher priority than the Auto Start Recording function (see Automatic recording from a satellite tuner on page 51). A timer recording will interrupt an Auto Start Recording. (Auto Start Recording will resume after the timer recording has finished.)

Approximately two minutes before a timer recording is set to start, the recorder will go into timer recording standby (assuming that a recordable disc is loaded). In timer recording standby you cannot use some functions.

Easy Timer Recording

As the name suggests, Easy Timer Recording makes setting up a timer recording as simple as possible.
