The timer recording list screen is displayed again. The timer program you just input appears in the list. The rightmost column shows various timer recording status messages:

•For an HDD timer recording, if there are already 250 titles on the HDD, the message Title Over appears.

•If a timer program overlaps another in the list, the message Overlap appears.

•6 Hour Over is displayed if a recording over six hours is set for a DVD.

•Standby is displayed when the recorder is in timer recording standby.

•Recording is displayed when a timer recording is in progress.

5To exit the timer recording screen, press HOME MENU.

Note

•The rightmost column in the timer recording screen (Confirm) shows whether there’s enough space to record your timer program. If you selected a daily or weekly program, the date of the last recording that will fit on the disc appears (up to a maximum of one month ahead).

•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 250 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 103) 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.
