•Cancel Once – A regular timer programme is set to skip.

Tip

•To enter a title name for the timer recording in advance, select Set Title Name and follow the on-screen display.

Note

•If you set a DVD timer recording but there is no recordable DVD disc loaded, or the disc loaded doesn’t have enough free space for the complete recording, Recovery is shown. In this case (unless you load a suitable disc before the recording actually starts), the recorder will use the HDD for recording. (The message Can’t Rec will appear if there are already 999 titles on the HDD or if there is not enough free space on the HDD for recording.)

•For a DVD timer recording, if Optimized Rec (see Optimized Rec on page 112) 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 (MN4 for DVD+R/+RW) 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 programmes will be erased.
