•To enter a title name for the timer recording in advance, select Set Title Name and follow the on- screen display.

Note

1 You cannot change the CH, Date, Start, Stop, Extend and title name when you have EPG Link set to On (see below).

2• For a DVD timer recording, if Optimized Rec (see Optimized Rec on page 157) is set to On (and VPS/PDC is off), 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 (MN4 for DVD+R/+RW) 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 programmes will be erased.

3This mode maximizes the recording quality to fit on to a single DVD disc. Can also be used when recording to HDD.

4• If you set the timer recording to use VPS/PDC, you must switch the recorder into standby before the timer recording is due to start for it to work correctly. For non-VPS/PDC timer recordings there is no need to switch the recorder into standby.

•Optimized Recording will not work if VPS/PDC is on.

•Up to eight timer recordings can be set with VPS/PDC.

•VPS/PDC cannot be set for recordings made from digital broadcasts or an external input, or when the recording mode is set to AUTO.

5• You cannot set an EPG Link when recording mode is set to AUTO.

•You cannot change the CH, Date, Start, Stop, Extend and title name when you have EPG Link set to On.

•When you have EPG Link set to On and you set a timer recording for a programme that is divided into multiple parts, all parts of that

programme are recorded automatically. In the programme list, the earliest part of the programme to be recorded has a red icon, with

successive parts indicated by a gray icon. Data provided by the broadcaster determines which programmes are classified as divided programmes.

6• In the programme list, the earliest programme to be recorded has a red icon, with successive programmes indicated by a gray icon.

•There is a limit to the number of programmes you can schedule to record with the Series Recording function.

•Data provided by the broadcaster determines which programmes are classified as part of a series.
