To adjust the recording quality
See step 3 of “Adjusting the recording picture
quality and size” on page 85.
Rec. Mode Adjust
If there is not enough available disc space for
the recording, the recorder automatically
adjusts the recording mode to enable the
entire programme to be recorded. Set “Rec.
Mode Adjust” of the “Timer Settings” to
“On” in the “Recording” setup (page 146).
Auto Title Erase (HDD only)
If there is not enough space for a timer
recording, the recorder automatically erases
old titles recorded on the HDD.
The oldest played title is erased. Set “Auto
Title Erase” of the “Timer Settings” to “On”
in the “Recording” setup (page 146).
Protected titles are not erased.
One Touch Timer

can easily display the GUIDE Plus+ system
“Schedule”.
When the TV is turned on or in standby
mode, press
[TIMER]
. The recorder
automatically turns on and the TV’s input is
switched to the recorder. The SCHEDULE
list appears.
If the timer settings overlap
If one or more timer settings overlap, a
message appears. To change the timer
settings, see “Checking/Changing/
Cancelling Timer Settings” on page 87.

Hint
If you are recording to the HDD or a DVD-RW (VR
mode) at a recording mode that is SP or lower and
is a 2x-speed or higher disc, you can play the title as
it is being recorded by selecting the programme title
on the Title List (page 95).

Notes
• If a message indicating that the disc is full appears
on the screen, change the disc, or make available
space for the recording (HDD/DVD+RW/DVD-
RW only) (page 103).
• The last recording mode you selected manually
becomes the default recording mode for timer
recordings made from the GUIDE Plus+ system.
• You cannot adjust the recording quality (HDD or
DVD) once the recording starts.
• The beginning of some recordings may not be
made when using the PDC/VPS function.
• You cannot extend the recording duration time
when “PDC/VPS” is set to “On” (page 88).
The VIDEO Plus+ system is a feature that
simplifies setting the timer. Just enter the
PlusCode programming number listed in the
TV programme guide. The date, time, and
programme position of that programme are
set automatically.
Check that the programme positions are
correctly set in “Programme Setting” in the
“Basic” setup (page 131).
