If there is not enough available disc space for the

recording mode to enable the entire programme to
be recorded. Set "Rec Mode Adjust" of the "Timer

(page 123).

Erase" of the "Timer Settings" to "On" in the
"Recording" setup (page 123). Protected titles are
not erased.

mode) at a recording mode that is SP or lower and is a 2x
speed or higher disc, you can play the title as it is being
recorded by selecting the programme title on the Title
List (page 80).
