Notes

• If a message indicating that the disc is full appears on

the screen, change the disc, or make available space for
the recording (HDD/DVD+RW/DVD-RW only)
(page 75).

• Check that the clock is correctly set before setting the

timer recording. If not, the timer recording cannot be
made.
To record a satellite programme, turn on the satellite
tuner and select the satellite programme you want to
record. Leave the satellite tuner turned on until the
recorder finishes recording. If you connect equipment
with a timer function, you can use the Synchro Rec
function (page 58).

programme, the timer recording cannot be made if it
overlaps with a programme that has priority. “

appear next to the overlapped setting in the Timer List.
Check the priority order of the settings.

• Even if the timer is set, timer recordings cannot be

made while recording a programme that has priority.

• The Rec Mode Adjust function only works with a timer

recording. It does not function with Quick Timer or
Synchro Rec. In addition, the Rec Mode Adjust
function does not work when recording to the HDD
while “Auto Title Erase” is set to “On.”

The EPG application is a feature that simplifies
setting the timer. Just select the programme you
wish to record in the EPG display. The date, time,
and channel of that programme are set
automatically.

Press HDD or DVD.

When you record to a DVD, insert a
recordable DVD (see “Inserting a Disc” on
page 29).

Press the

button to display the EPG.

Press the

buttons or enter a

channel number using the number buttons
to move around the list.
