Estimating recording when using the Timer
Please note when using the Timer that there may
be instances where, because of max recording fields,
image quality, there is insufficient recording space
on the unit’s hard disk drive to complete the Timer
recording as programmed.
Please note that when the max recording fields
setting differs on the NORMAL REC SETTING screen
and TIMER PROGRAM screen, its possible record-
ing duration will differ from the duration displayed in
ESTD TIME on the NORMAL REC SETTING screen.
When setting the Timer for multiple programs, please
refer to the Recording Time table on page 81 to con-
firm the amount of hard disk space the recording du-
ration will take up under different setting conditions.
