• For a DVD timer recording, if
Optimized Rec
(see
Optimized Rec
on page 101) is set to
On
, the recorder
will adjust the recording quality to try and fit the
recording on the disc. If the recording will not fit onto
the disc even on MN1 recording quality then the
Recovery Recording feature will automatically make
the recording to the HDD instead.
• If there is very little free space left on the HDD, an
Auto Replace Recording may not complete
successfully.
• If the HDD is being used for playback or high-speed
copying when an Auto Replace Recording is due to
start, the new timer recording will not replace the old
one. However, the next time the timer recording
starts, both of the older two programs will be erased.
If you change the
Auto Channel Setting
(from cable
to antenna or the other way around), existing timer
programs will be erased.
Timer recording using the VCR Plus+
®
programming system
This system makes programming timer recordings very
simple. Most TV guides publish PlusCode numbers with
their program details. If you want to make a timer
recording of a program, you just input the corresponding
code. The date, start, stop and channel settings are made
automatically. All you have to do is tell the recorder the
recording mode, and whether it’s a once-only recording
or a regular recording.
1 Press ‘VCR Plus+’ to display the VCR Plus+
program screen.
You can also access this screen from the Home Menu
(press
HOME MENU
, select
Timer Recording
, then
VCR
Plus+
).
• Use the number buttons to enter the PlusCode
number. (To clear the last digit entered, press
CLEAR
.)
• Press
REC MODE
to select
FINE
,
SP
,
LP
,
EP
or
AUTO
(See
Recording time and picture quality
on page 44). If
Manual Recording is on, then you can also select the
MN
setting.
Use the
/
(cursor left/right) buttons to select the
Once
,
Daily
or
Weekly
recording option.
• Press
HDD
to record to the hard disk drive, or
DVD
to
record to a DVD.
2 After making the settings, press ENTER.
The program details are shown at the bottom of the
screen for a few seconds then the screen is automatically
exited.
• If you haven’t set up the guide channels (or at least
the guide channel for the PlusCode number that you
entered), the recorder will prompt you to enter the
channel number that the TV program is showing on.
