Hints
• For recording over the next day, leave the starting date setting as it is,
and enter the ending time in the setting. The date will automatically
change to the next day.
• You can also display the timer programming menu by:
– selecting “TIMER” from the System Menu.
– selecting “Set Timer” from the TOOLS menu while the Timer List
menu is displayed.
• You can also use the recorder even when the recorder stands by for
recording. To remind you of the timer setting, a message appears on
your TV screen five minutes before the timer recording starts.
Notes
• If “The disc is full or nearly full” appears on the screen, change the
disc, or make available space for the recording (DVD-RW/DVD+RW
only).
• Check that the clock is correctly set before setting the timer recording.
If not, the timer recording cannot be made.
To record a satellite program, turn on the satellite receiver and select
the satellite program you want to record. Leave the satellite receiver
turned on until the recorder finishes recording. If you connect
equipment with a timer function, you can use the Synchro Rec function
(page 47).
Rec Mode Adjust
If there is not enough available disc space for the recording, the
recorder automatically selects the recording mode to enable the
program to be recorded. This function is normally set to on.
