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 “Disc Format” on page 23.)
1. Press TIMER REC.
The Timer Record menu will appear.
[Media] Choose a media to record (HDD or
DVD).
[PR] Choose a memorized program number, or
one of the external inputs from which to record.
[Date] Choose a date up to 1 month in advance.
[Start Time] Set the start time.
[End Time] Set the end time.
[Repeat] Choose a desired repeat (Once,
Daily (Monday - Friday), or Weekly).
[PDC] The PDC system automatically adjusts
the recording time so that even if a program is
not running to schedule, you won’t miss it. For
PDC to work properly, you must input the
correct announced time and date of the
program you want to record.
Note that PDC may not work with every station.
Notes:
Stations that use PDC typically include PDC
information in the teletext TV guide pages.
Please refer to these pages when setting a
timer recording.
When using PDC, there may be instances
where the beginning of the program is not
recorded.
