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
programmes can be set to record just once,
every day, or every week.
There are three ways to set a timer recording;
using the Easy Timer Recording feature (see
Easy Timer Recording on page 39), using the
G-Code programming system (see Timer
recording using the G-Code™ programming
system on page 40), or using manual timer
recording (see Setting a manual timer
recording on page 42).
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 the 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 programme will be
replaced by the next one, regardless of
STOP
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 114 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 programme to the
HDD for you.
