Tip

•During recording you can turn on/off the SCART loop through function. During recording, press the front panel + button to switch to SCART THRU (loop through on), or – to switch to SCART NORM (loop though off).

Direct recording from TV

If you connected this recorder to your TV using a SCART cable, and your TV supports Direct Recording, you can record whatever is currently being shown on the TV without having to worry about what channel preset the recorder is on. Check the instructions that came with your TV if you’re not sure whether your TV supports this feature.

Setting a timer recording

VR mode Video mode HDD

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 two ways to program a timer recording; using the GUIDE Plus+ system (see The Schedule Area on page 45) or using the Easy Timer Recording feature (see Easy Timer Recording below).

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 117 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.
