The timer recording list screen is displayed again. The
timer program you just input appears in the list. The
rightmost column shows various timer recording status
messages:
• For an HDD timer recording, if there are already 250
titles on the HDD, the message
Title Over
appears.
• If a timer program overlaps another in the list, the
message
Overlap
appears.
•
6 Hour Over
is displayed if a recording over six hours
is set for a DVD.
•

is displayed when the recorder is in timer
recording standby.
•

Note
• The rightmost column in the timer recording screen
(
Confirm
) shows whether there’s enough space to
record your timer program. If you selected a daily or
weekly program, the date of the last recording that
will fit on the disc appears (up to a maximum of one
month ahead).
• If you set a DVD timer recording but there is no
recordable DVD disc loaded, or the disc loaded
doesn’t have enough free space for the complete
recording,
Recovery
is shown. In this case (unless
you load a suitable disc before the recording actually
starts), the recorder will use the HDD for recording.
(The message
Can’t Rec
will appear if there are
already 250 titles on the HDD or if there is not enough
free space on the HDD for recording.)
• For a DVD timer recording, if
Optimized Rec
(see
Optimized Rec
on page 103) is set to
On
, the recorder
will adjust the recording quality to try and fit the
recording on the disc. If the recording will not fit onto
the disc even on MN1 recording quality then the
Recovery Recording feature will automatically make
the recording to the HDD instead.
• If there is very little free space left on the HDD, an
Auto Replace Recording may not complete
successfully.
• If the HDD is being used for playback or high-speed
copying when an Auto Replace Recording is due to
start, the new timer recording will not replace the old
one. However, the next time the timer recording
starts, both of the older two programs will be erased.
• If you change the
Auto Channel Setting
(from cable
to antenna or the other way around), existing timer
programs will be erased.
Timer recording using the VCR Plus+
®
programming system
This system makes programming timer recordings very
simple. Most TV guides publish PlusCode numbers with
their program details. If you want to make a timer
recording of a program, you just input the corresponding
code. The date, start, stop and channel settings are made
automatically. All you have to do is tell the recorder the
recording mode, and whether it’s a once-only recording
or a regular recording.
