will stop when the HDD is filled up. Also at 8 hours from the
start time the recording will stop.
Relief recording
If you set a timer programme to a loaded DVD disc but
the disc does not have remaining space to record the
programme, the recorder records the whole
programme to the HDD instead of the loaded disc.
To use this function, set “Relief recording” (
page
131) to “On”.
Notes
• This function works also when you start a recording on a
loaded DVD disc by pressing the REC button and the
remaining space of the disc is under 10 minutes. (The
programme is not recorded on the disc.)
• This feature does not work when the HDD does not have
remaining space to record the programme.
• If the recording end time is extended after starting a timer
programmed recording, the programme is not recorded
onto the HDD. The loaded disc records the programme
until it is filled up then stops recording.
