•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.

•VPS/PDC may not work with all broadcast stations in your country/area. Check with the stations for compatibility.

•The hours between 3:00 and 5:00 in the morning are used by the GUIDE Plus+ system to download program information. During these times, VPS/PDC may not work reliably; leave VPS/PDC off if you set a timer recording for these times.
