2 • For a DVD timer recording, if Optimized Rec (see Optimized Rec on page 130) is set to On (and VPS/PDC is
off), 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 (MN4 for DVD+R/+RW) 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 programmes will be erased.
3 This mode maximizes the recording quality to fit on to a single DVD disc. Can also be used when recording to
HDD.
4 • If you set the timer recording to use VPS/PDC, you must switch the recorder into standby before the timer
recording is due to start for it to work correctly. For non-VPS/PDC timer recordings there is no need to switch
the recorder into standby.
• Optimized Recording will not work if VPS/PDC is on.
• Up to eight timer recordings can be set with VPS/PDC.
• VPS/PDC cannot be set for recordings made from digital broadcasts or an external input, or when the
recording mode is set to
AUTO.
