playing or recording another program.

when television programs are recorded using VCR Plusi.

codes to make a timer recording, the unit sets the mode
selected on the unit at that time (unless the mode is "XP", in
which case the unit sets "FR" as the mode).

already 32 programs.

when recording with HDD or DVD-RAM, and approximately
30 seconds when recording with DVD-R).

Relief Recording
When the recording drive is set to "DVD" for timer recording, the
unit will automatically evaluate if the program will fit onto the disc
before beginning recording. If the program will not fit then the
recording drive will be altered to "HDD" automatically.
≥If the time remaining on the HDD is insufficient, as much of the
program as possible will be recorded onto the HDD.
≥If there is no disc in the tray or the disc cannot be recorded on,
the recording drive will be altered to HDD.
≥The recording mode will not be altered.
≥The Direct Navigator shows which programs were relief-
recorded ( page 19).
