The timer indicator ( ) lights in the front panel display when the timer is active. If the indicator is blinking it means that (for a DVD timer recording) there is no disc loaded, or the disc loaded is not recordable (for an HDD timer recording it means that the HDD is not recordable).

Approximately two minutes before a timer recording is set to start, the recorder will go into timer recording standby. In timer recording standby you cannot use some functions.

The maximum length for timer recordings made to the HDD is 24 hours. However, because one title (HDD) is limited to 12 hours, recordings over 12 hours will be spread over two titles. Note that there will be a break in the recording of a few seconds between titles.

Each row of the grid is one day (you can set the timer recording for up to a month in advance). Each column is a 15 minute interval.

The darker area represents time that has already passed and can’t therefore be selected. The lighter area is time that’s available.

4 Press ENTER to set the start time.

The start date and time is displayed in the middle of the screen.

You can go back and reset the start time if you need to by pressing RETURN.
