Basic recording from the TV
Basic recording from the TV involves just
setting the channel to record, choosing
whether to record to the HDD or a DVD and
selecting the recording quality.
1 Select the HDD or DVD for
recording.
• If you’re recording to DVD, load a
recordable disc (if you load a new blank
DVD-RW or DVD+RW disc, the recorder
takes a short while to initialize the disc).
• If you want to record a VR mode DVD-R
or a Video mode DVD-RW, you must
initialize it before proceeding (see
Initializing recordable DVD discs on
page 71).
2 Press to switch between
D.TV (digital) and A.TV (analog).
3 Select a TV channel to
record.
The front panel display shows the channel
number, or channel name if it’s available:
• While the recorder is stopped, you can
also use the number buttons on the
remote to select the channel. (For
channel 24, press
2, 4 then ENTER )
• If the recorder is stopped, you can also
use the CH +/– buttons on the front
panel to select the channel number.
4 Set the picture quality/
recording time.
• See Setting the picture quality/recording
time on page 63 for detailed instructions.
5 If you’re recording from the
A.TV tuner, select the audio channel to
record.
See Changing A.TV audio channels on
page 62 for more on this.
• When recording in VR mode, if a
broadcast is bilingual, both audio
channels are recorded, allowing you to
switch the audio channel on playback.
The only exception to this is when the
picture quality is set to
LPCM , in which
case you do need to select the audio
channel before recording.
6 If you’re recording from the
D.TV tuner, select the audio language to
record.
• You may also be able to set which
subtitle language to record; use SHIFT +
SUBTITLE to select.
7 Start recording.
If you want to set a recording end time, press
the
ì REC button repeatedly. The recording
time increases in 30 minute increments, up
to a maximum of six hours. The time the
recording will end is shown on-screen and in
the front panel display. When the recording
ends, the recorder automatically switches
into standby if no other operation is being
performed.
• To cancel the set recording time, press
ì REC .
• If you want to pause recording at any
time 1 , press PAUSE . Press again to
restart the recording (If recording to the
HDD, DVD-RAM or in VR mode, a new
chapter is started after recording
restarts).
