Timer Recording - Panasonic Diga DMR-EX98VEB Operating Instructions Manual

Timer Recording

What is Freeview Playback?
Freeview Playback is the functions that enable timer recordings be controlled by the signal sent
from the broadcaster. "Guide Link", "Series recording" (➔ 34), and "Split Programme" are available.
"Guide Link" — If you set a timer recording from the TV Guide, the recording's start and
stop times can be controlled by the broadcaster, e.g. delayed start.
This is indicated by "Guide Link" in the Timer Recording screen in step 2 (➔ below).
"Split Programme" — If a programme is separated into 2 or more parts by some other
programmes e.g. news, this unit pauses recording during the gap.
This is indicated by "Split" in the Timer Recording screen in step 2 (➔ below).
When setting timer from the 1st split programme, other parts of the programme will be automatically
set and indicated by the timer icon on the TV Guide, but not shown on the timer recording list.
If you set a timer recording from the TV Guide, the recording's start and stop times are
controlled by the signal sent from the broadcaster. If the signal is not sent correctly,
the recording may lack the beginning or the ending part of the programmes.
In order to make the timer recording work successfully, we recommend you set the
start time earlier and the end time later by some minutes, up to a maximum of 10
minutes for Guide Link to function.
e.g. When you set the timer recording for a programme that will start at 10:00 and end
at 11:00, set "9:58" and "11:05" in step 3 (➔ below).
