Timer Programming
Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to remind watching or record to the external recorder
or the USB HDD. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the correct channel automatically to record even if the TV is in Standby mode.
TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming event (p. 22).
•
Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.
•
For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either On or in standby. For reminders to be displayed, the TV must be On.
•
No other channel can be selected while the recording of Timer Programming is in progress.
•
It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).
•
When recording programmes to the external recorder, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected to the TV.
If a compatible recorder with Q-Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 83) and the [Link Settings] (p. 34) are
correct, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.
•
If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies, set the timer of the recorder in addition to the Timer
Programming on the TV. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.
•
When recording programmes to the USB HDD, be sure to format the USB HDD and enable it for recording in [Recording
Setup] (p. 54).
•
Recordings to the external recorders are always in standard definition composite video via SCART, even if the original
programme is in high definition.
