can still stop the recording anytime by pressing

• Recording will stop automatically when there is no
more space on the HDD/DVD, or after 12 hours of

Setting a timer recording
Using the timer recording features you can program up
to 32 timer recordings up to a month in advance. Timer
recording programs can be set to record just once, every
day, or every week.
There are three ways to program a timer recording; using
the Easy Timer Recording feature (see
Easy Timer
Recording below), using the VCR Plus+ programming
system (see Timer recording using the VCR Plus+™
programming system on page 40), or using manual timer
recording (see Setting a manual timer recording on
page 41).
You can set the recording quality for your timer recording
in the same way as for a regular recording, but with the
added option of an
AUTO mode, which maximizes the
recording quality for the space available on the disc (if
recording to DVD), or to fit on to a blank DVD disc (if
recording to HDD).
You can set timer recordings to record to a recordable
DVD or to the hard disk drive. For regular (daily or weekly)
HDD timer recordings that you don’t need to keep, you
can use the Auto Replace Recording feature to
automatically replace the previous timer recording with
the new one. Note that when you use this feature, the
previous recording made on that timer program will be
replaced by the next one, regardless of whether you have
watched it yet or not.
You can also set the recorder so that it will adjust the
recording quality to try and fit the recording on to the disc
if it would not otherwise fit at the recording quality you set
(see
Optimized Rec on page 96 for more on this).
Finally, if you set a timer recording to record to DVD but
there isn’t a recordable DVD loaded at the time of the
recording, the Recovery Recording feature will
automatically record the program to the HDD for you.
Important
• A timer recording can’t be set if there are already 32
timer programs waiting to be recorded.
• Timer recording will not start if:
– The recorder is already recording.
– A disc is being initialized, finalized or unfinalized.
• Timer recording will start when the operation
preventing timer recording has finished.
• If a recordable DVD that doesn’t support
simultaneous playback and recording (see
Simultaneous recording and playback on page 45) is
playing when a DVD timer recording is due to start,
playback will automatically stop to allow the
recording to start.
