Setting a timer recording
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.
There are three ways to program a timer
recording; using the Easy Timer Recording
feature (see
Easy Timer Recording
below),
using the G-Code programming system (see
Timer recording using the G-Code™
programming system
on page 40), or using
manual timer recording (see
Setting a
manual timer recording
on page 41).
You can set the recording quality for your
timer recording in the same way as for a
regular recording, but with the added option
of an
AUTO
mode, which maximizes the
recording quality for the space available on
the disc (if recording to DVD), or to fit on to a
blank DVD disc (if recording to HDD).
You can set timer recordings to record to a
recordable DVD or to the hard disk drive. For
regular (daily or weekly) HDD timer
recordings that you don’t need to keep, you
can use the Auto Replace Recording feature
to automatically replace the previous timer
recording with the new one. Note that when
you use this feature, the previous recording
made on that timer program will be replaced
by the next one, regardless of whether you
have watched it yet or not.
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 112 for more on
this).
Finally, if you set a timer recording to record
to DVD but there isn’t a recordable DVD
loaded at the time of the recording, the
Recovery Recording feature will
automatically record the program to the
HDD for you.
Important
•A timer recording can’t be set if 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.
• 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
(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.

Easy Timer Recording

As the name suggests, Easy Timer
Recording makes setting up a timer
recording as simple as possible.
Important
• Unless otherwise stated, the OSDs
shown in this manual are for the Taiwan
