Setting a timer recording

VR mode Video mode

Using the timer recording features you can program up to 32 timer recordings up to a month in advance. Timer recording programs can be set to record just once, every day, or every week.

You can also set the recorder so that it will adjust the recording quality to try and fit the recording on the disc (see Optimized Rec on page 78 for more on this).

Important

Timer recording can’t be used if:

There is another timer recording in progress, or the recorder is in timer record standby.

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

The timer programming screen is displayed on- screen

A disc is being initialized, finalized or unfinalized.

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

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 50). 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.

If you change the Auto Channel Setting (from cable to antenna or the other way around), existing timer programs will be erased.

As the name suggests, easy timer recording makes setting up a timer recording as simple as possible.
