Timer Recording (Standard/
EPG)
You can set the timer for a total of 30 programmes
up to one month in advance.
There are two methods to set the timer: the
standard method and EPG method.
• Standard: Set the date, time, and programme
position of the programme manually.
• EPG: Set a programme to be recorded based on
the information provided by the EPG (Electronic
Programme Guide) (page 48). This method
allows you to set the timer up to 8 days from the
current time (depending on programme
availability from the broadcaster).
