value.
• Date – Choose a date up to one month in advance, or
select a daily or weekly program.
• Start – Set the recording start time.
• Stop – Set the recording end time (maximum length
of a timer recording is 6 hours).
• CH – Choose a channel (2–69 or 1–125 for antenna or
cable channels respectively, excluding skip
channels), or one of the external inputs from which to
record.
• Mode – Select FINE, SP, LP or EP (See Setting the
picture quality/recording time on page 44). If Manual
Recording is on, then you can also select the MN
setting.
• Rec to – Select HDD for hard disk recording or DVD
for DVD recording. Select HDD
Recording (daily or weekly timer recording only).

information, press ENTER.
The main timer recording screen is displayed again. The
timer program you just input appears in the list.
• The rightmost column in the timer recording screen

record your timer program. If you selected a daily or
weekly program, the date of the last recording that
will fit on the disc appears (up to a maximum of one
month ahead).
• If you set a DVD timer recording but there is no
recordable DVD disc loaded, or the disc loaded
doesn't have enough free space for the complete
recording, Recovery is shown. In this case (unless

you load a suitable disc before the recording actually
starts), the recorder will use the HDD for recording.
(The message Can't Rec will appear if there are
already 99 titles on the HDD or if there is not enough
free space on the HDD for recording.)
• If Optimized Rec (see Optimized Rec on page 96) is
set to On, 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 then the Recovery Recording
feature will automatically make the recording to the
HDD instead.
• For an HDD timer recording, if there are already 99
titles on the HDD, the message Title Over appears.
• If a timer program overlaps another in the list, the
message Overlap appears.
• 6 Hour Over is displayed if a recording over 6 hours
is set.
5 To exit the timer recording screen, press HOME
MENU.
Note
• When Optimized Rec is On, Optimized Recording
takes priority over Recovery Recording when
recording to DVD. In other words, if there's not
enough space on the DVD disc for the recording to
complete on the recording quality set, the recorder
will first try and adjust the recording quality. If the
recorder can't compensate using a lower recording
mode setting, then the HDD is used for Recovery
Recording.
• 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 programs will be erased.
• If you change the Auto Channel Setting (from cable
to antenna or the other way around), existing timer
programs will be erased.
