One-touch timer recording (OTR):

HDD

Autostart recording:

Every time you turn on this unit, this unit automatically records the channel currently viewed and temporarily stores the recorded content to the HDD. By using this function, you can pause or go back the TV program you are currently watching, and you can also start recording the whole TV program even at the middle of the TV program.

DVD

Automatic title menu making:

Automatic title finalizing:

You can finalize discs automatically after finishing all timer recordings or at the end of the disc space if you set this in the main menu.

Alternate recording:

If there is no recordable disc in the unit, if the disc does not have enough space to complete the recording, or if the material is “copy-once” program and prohibited to be recorded on a DVD in the unit, the unit will detect it and automatically record to the HDD even when DVD is selected as the recording media.

This feature is available only for timer recording. Not available for one-touch timer recording.
