Easy Timer Recording - Pioneer DVR-220 Operating Instructions Manual

Recording
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 82 for more on this).
Important
• A timer recording can't be set if:
– Auto Start Recording is in progress.
– There are already 32 timer programs waiting to be
recorded.
• Timer recording will not start if:
– The recorder is already recording
– A disc is being initialized, finalized or unfinalized.
• Except when finalizing Video mode discs, timer
recording will start when the operation preventing
timer recording has finished.
• If a Video mode disc is playing when a timer
recording is due to start, playback will automatically
stop to allow the recording to start. (Simultaneous
recording and playback is only possible with VR
mode discs.)
• The timer indicator lights in the front panel display
when the timer is active. If the indicator is blinking it
means that there is no disc loaded, or the disc loaded
is not recordable.
• Timer recordings have higher priority than the Auto
Start Recording function (see Automatic recording
from a satellite tuner on page 51). A timer recording
will interrupt an Auto Start Recording. (Auto Start
Recording will resume after the timer recording has
finished.)
• Approximately two minutes before a timer recording
is set to start, the recorder will go into timer recording
standby (assuming that a recordable disc is loaded).
In timer recording standby you cannot use some
functions.

As the name suggests, Easy Timer Recording makes
