Timer Recording
This recorder can be programmed to record up to 16
programs within a period of 1 month. For unattended
recording, the timer needs to know the channels to be
recorded, the starting and ending time.
Note:
If you use a completely blank disc for timer recording,
you must format the disc before starting timer
recording. (Refer to “Initialize” on page 20.)

necessary, to complete recording the program.

mode is not available.
[VPS/PDC] The VPS/PDC system automatically
adjusts the recording time so that even if a
program is not running to schedule, you won’t
miss it. For VPS/PDC to work properly, you
must input the correct announced time and date
of the program you want to record.
Note that VPS/PDC may not work with every
station.
Notes:
Stations that use VPS/PDC typically include
VPS/PDC information in the teletext TV guide
pages. Please refer to these pages when
setting a timer recording.
