Advanced timer recording

Relief Recording

When the recording drive is "DVD" and there is not enough
remaining space, recording automatically switches to the "HDD". If
there is no disc in the tray or the disc cannot be recorded on or when
timer recording starts while copying, the recording drive will be
altered to the HDD.
≥The DIRECT NAVIGATOR shows which programmes were relief-
recorded (" " is displayed.) (
≥If the time remaining on the HDD is insufficient, as much of the
programme as possible will be recorded onto the HDD.
≥Relief recording is not activated when recording the programme
with VPS/PDC and it is extended so that it no longer fits on the
disc.

VPS/PDC function

VPS (Video Programme System) or PDC (Programme Delivery Control) is a very convenient system which records exactly from beginning to end
of the TV programmes set in timer recording, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or
extension of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted, for example, some special news is inserted, the recording will be
paused automatically and resumed when the programme continues.
