Note
• The rightmost column in the timer recording screen
(Confirm) shows whether there's enough space to
record your timer program. If you selected a daily or
weekly program, the date of the last recording that
will fit on the disc appears (up to a maximum of one
month ahead).
• If you set a DVD timer recording but there is no
recordable DVD disc loaded, or the disc loaded
doesn't have enough free space for the complete
recording, Recovery is shown. In this case (unless
you load a suitable disc before the recording actually
starts), the recorder will use the HDD for recording.
(The message Can't Rec will appear if there are
already 250 titles on the HDD or if there is not enough
free space on the HDD for recording.)
