Programming a recording or a transfer

Your DVD recorder lets you program recordings or transfer. Programming several recordings is really useful when it uses the high capacitu of the hard disc, thereby enabling you to go beyond the limited capacities of DVD+R /+RW discs.

You can programme recordings using the manual 10 step method or by choosing, for channels which broadcast the programme guide, the Navclick programming which is detailed on page 33.

Manual programming in 10 steps

1.From the main menu (MENU key or in Stop mode) select the Timers function with the ▲ ou ▼ key then confirm using the OK key.

•The Timers screen is displayed. It contains a list of all the deferred recordings that you have already programmed, whether carried out manually, as explained below, or using the Naviclick function explained on page 33. If nothing has been programmed the screen simply displays Add Timer and Set transfer.

2.Press OK.

•The programming menu is displayed.This menu allows you to define all the parameters necessary for a deferred recording. Select each parameter with the ▲ or ▼ key and enter the corresponding information with the number keys or the B key as described below.

Note: your DVD recorder can memorise the parameters of 8 different programmings. In the case of double programming, a warning message is displayed.

Note: selecting the AV2 connector allows you to program the recording of a satellite reciever programme (either left switched on or also programmed) connected to this connector. The selecting of the AV2 connector is activated by default by the AV Timer function (triggering of programming via the AV connector).
