•If a message indicating that the HDD is full appears on the screen, change the recording destination to “DVD,” or make available space for the recording (page 83).

•Check that the clock is correctly set before setting the timer recording. If not, the timer recording cannot be made.

•Even if the timer is set for the same daily or weekly programme, the timer recording cannot be made if it overlaps with a programme that has priority. “Overlap” will appear next to the overlapped setting in the Timer List. Check the priority order of the settings (page 59).

•Even if the timer is set, timer recordings cannot be made while recording a programme that has priority.

•The beginning of some recordings may not be made when using the VPS/PDC function.

•The “Rec. Mode Adjust” function only works with a timer recording and the VPS/PDC function set to off. It does not function with Quick Timer.

Using the Quick Timer function

You can set the recorder to record in 30- minute increments.

Press z REC repeatedly to set the duration.

Each press advances the time in 30-minute increments. The maximum duration is six hours.

(normal recording)

The time counter decreases minute by minute to 0:00, then the recorder stops recording (the power turns off).

To cancel the Quick Timer

Press z REC repeatedly until “0:00” appears in the front panel display. The recorder returns to normal recording mode. To stop recording, press x REC STOP.

bNote

If you turn off the recorder during recording, recording is stopped.

Creating chapters in a title

The recorder can automatically divide a recording (a title) into chapters by inserting chapter marks. To select chapter mark intervals or disable this function, see “Auto Chapter (HDD/VR),” “Auto Chapter (Video),” or “Auto Chapter (DVD+R/ +RW)” in the “Recording” setup (page 136). When recording to the HDD, a DVD-R (VR mode) or a DVD-RW (VR mode), you can edit chapter marks (page 85).
