Timer Recording
There are two methods of timer recording: one uses the internal timer and the other uses an external timer.

Internal timer recording
Start time and stop time
Bear in mind the following points when setting these times. � When the stop time is set later than the start time: Recording will commence at the start time on the day concerned and stop at the end time on the same day. Example: 8:30 � 17:00 � When the start time is set later than the stop time or the start time and stop time for weekly recording (weekly timer) are the same: Recording starts at the start time on the day concerned and ends at the stop time on the following day. Example: 17:00 � 8:30 � When the start time and stop time are the same (for weekly recording): Recording starts at 8:30 on the day concerned and ends at 8:30 on the following day. Example: 8:30 � 8:30 To record for an entire day, set the start time and stop time to 0:00. � Weekly recording (weekly timer) can be set by the day of the week. � When (INTERNAL TIMER REC) on Menu Screen 5 is set to OFF for both the weekly timer and daily recording (daily timer), nothing appears for the start or stop time. Timer recording is considered not to be set.
