Timer Recording

Before Recording

Before you start recording...
• Check that the disc has enough available
space for the recording (page 33). For the
HDD, DVD+RWs, and DVD-RWs, you
can free up disc space by erasing titles
(page 64).
• Adjust the recording picture quality and
picture size if necessary (page 46).
z Hint
Timer recordings will be made regardless whether
or not the recorder is turned on. You can turn off the
recorder without affecting the recording even after
recording starts.
b
Note
To play a recorded disc on other DVD equipment,
finalise the disc (page 36).
Recording mode
Like the standard ×3 recording modes of
video tapes, you can select the desired
recording mode using the REC MODE
button.
Recording modes with higher quality provide
a more beautiful recording, but the large data
volume also results in a shorter recording
time.
Conversely, a longer duration provides a
longer recording time, but the lower data
volume results in a coarser picture quality.

Recording stereo and bilingual
programmes
The recorder automatically receives and
records stereo and bilingual programmes
based on the ZWEITON system or the
NICAM system.
The HDD and a DVD-RW (VR mode) or
DVD-R (VR mode) can record both main and
sub sounds. You can switch between main
and sub when playing the disc. For the HDD,
you can select the sound track before
recording. Select "Main," "Sub," or
"Main+Sub" in "Bilingual Recording" of the
"HDD Rec. Settings" in the "Recording"
setup (page 92).
A DVD+RW, DVD-RW (Video mode),
DVD+R, or DVD-R (Video mode) can
record only one sound track (main or sub) at
a time. Select the sound track using the Setup
Display before recording starts. Set
"Bilingual Recording" of the "DVD Rec.
Settings" to "Main" (default) or "Sub" in the
"Recording" setup (page 93).
ZWEITON (German stereo) system
When a stereo based programme is received,
"Stereo" appears.
When a bilingual ZWEITON based
programme is received, "Main," "Sub," or
"Main/Sub" appears.
NICAM system
When a stereo or bilingual NICAM based
programme is received, "NICAM" appears in
the front panel display.
To record a NICAM programme, be sure to
set "Audio" of "Channel Setting" in the
"Basic" setup to "NICAM" (default). If the
sound is not clear when listening to NICAM
broadcasts, set "Audio" to "Standard" (see
"Channel Setting" on page 83).
z Hint
You can select the audio (main or sub) while
recording bilingual programmes using the AUDIO
button. This does not affect the recorded sound.

Select "OK," and press ENTER.
The "TIMER LIST" display (page 47)
appears. The TIMER REC indicator
lights up on the front panel and the
recorder is ready to start recording.
Unlike a VCR, there is no need to turn off
the recorder before the timer recording
starts.
To stop recording during timer recording
Press x REC STOP.
Note that it may take a few seconds for the
recorder to stop recording.
About the PDC/VPS function
PDC/VPS signals are transmitted with TV
programmes in some broadcast systems.
These signals ensure that timer recordings are
made regardless of any broadcast delays,
early starts, or broadcast interruptions.
To use the PDC/VPS function
Set "PDC/VPS" to "On" in step 3 above.
When you turn on this function, the recorder
starts scanning the channels before the timer
recording starts. If you are watching TV
when scanning starts, a message will appear
on the TV screen. If you want to watch TV,
switch to your TV's tuner or turn off the
PDC/VPS channel scan function.
Note that if you turn off the PDC/VPS
channel scan function, the timer recording
will not start.
To temporarily turn off PDC/VPS channel
scan
Press OPTIONS and select "PDC/VPS Scan
Off."
To ensure that the PDC/VPS function works
properly, turn off the recorder before the
timer recording starts. This will
automatically turn on the PDC/VPS channel
scan function while the recorder remains off.
Rec Mode Adjust
If there is not enough available disc space for
the recording, the recorder automatically
adjusts the recording mode to enable the
entire programme to be recorded. Set "Rec
Mode Adjust" of the "Timer Settings" to
"On" in the "Recording" setup (page 93).

Auto Title Erase (HDD only)
If there is not enough space for a timer
recording, the recorder automatically erases
old titles recorded on the HDD. The oldest,
played title is erased. Set "Auto Title Erase"
of the "Timer Settings" to "On" in the
"Recording" setup (page 93). Protected titles
are not erased.
If the timer settings overlap
Overlapped timer settings are shown as
follows.
To store the setting as shown, select "OK."
