Direct recording from TV
If you connected this recorder to your TV using a SCART cable, and your TV supports Direct Recording, you can record whatever is currently being shown on the TV without having to worry about what channel preset the recorder is on. Check the instructions that came with your TV if you�re not sure whether your TV supports this feature.

Setting a timer recording
VR mode Video mode

Using the timer recording features you can program up to 32 timer recordings up to a month in advance. Timer recording programs can be set to record just once, every day, or every week. You can set the recording quality for your timer recording in the same way as for a regular recording, but with the added option of an AUTO mode, which maximizes the recording quality for the space available on the disc.

2 Set the picture quality/recording time using the REC MODE button. 3 Press TV DIRECT REC to start recording. If you want to set a recording time, press the ì REC button repeatedly. The recording time increases in 30 minute increments, up to a maximum of six hours. You can see the recording time on-screen and in the front panel display. When the recording ends, the recorder automatically switches into standby if no other operation is being performed. � To cancel the set recording time, press ì REC. � If you want to pause recording at any time, press PAUSE. Press again to restart the recording. (If recording in VR mode, a new chapter is started after recording restarts) 4 To stop the recording, press STOP REC. � If you set the recording time in step 3, you can still stop the recording anytime by pressing STOP REC. � Recording will stop automatically when there is no more space on the DVD.

You can also set the recorder so that it will adjust the recording quality to try and fit the recording on to the disc if it would not otherwise fit at the recording quality you set (see Optimized Rec on page 87 for more on this). This recorder is compatible with VPS (Video Programming System) and PDC (Program Delivery Control) systems used by many TV stations to ensure that a timer recording catches the whole program even when the program is not running to schedule. Up to eight timer programs can be set with VPS/PDC on.

Important � A timer recording can�t be set if: � Auto Start Recording is in progress. � There are already 32 timer programs waiting to be recorded. � Timer recording will not start if: � The recorder is already recording. � A disc is being initialized, finalized or unfinalized. � Except when finalizing Video mode discs, timer recording will start when the operation preventing timer recording has finished. � If a recordable DVD that doesn�t support simultaneous playback and recording (see Simultaneous recording and playback on page 53) is playing when a timer recording is due to start, playback will automatically stop to allow the recording to start. � The timer indicator ( ) lights in the front panel display when the timer is active. If the indicator is blinking it means that there is no disc loaded, or the disc loaded is not recordable. � Timer recordings have higher priority than the Auto Start Recording function (see Automatic recording from a satellite tuner on page 54). A timer recording will interrupt an Auto Start Recording. (Auto Start Recording will resume after the timer recording has finished.)

Tip � You can press TV DIRECT REC while the recorder is in standby to switch on and immediately start recording. � Please note that you can�t record from another component (VCR, etc.) that is connected by a SCART cable to the AV2/(INPUT 1/DECODER) connector using the TV Direct Recording feature.
