Timer Recording
Before Recording
Before you start recording…
• This recorder can record on various discs. Select
the disc type according to your needs (page 8).
• Check that the disc has enough available space
for the recording (page 25). For HDD,
DVD+RWs, and DVD-RWs, you can free up
disc space by erasing titles (page 66).
• Adjust the recording picture quality and picture
z Hint
Timer recordings will be made regardless whether or not the recorder is turned on. You can turn off the recorder without affecting the recording even after recording starts.
b
Note
To play a recorded disc on other DVD equipment,
Recording mode
Like the SP or LP recording mode of VCRs, this recorder has eight different recording modes.
Select a recording mode according to the time and picture quality you need. For example, if picture quality is your top priority, select the High Quality mode (HQ). If recording time is your priority,
Super Extended Play mode (SEP) can be a possible choice. Note that recording times in the following table are approximate and the actual times may differ. Note also that the maximum continuous recording time for a single title is eight hours. Contents beyond this time will not be recorded.
Press REC MODE repeatedly to switch the recording modes.

Note
Situations below may cause slight inaccuracies with the recording time.
– Recording a programme with poor reception, or a programme or video source of low picture quality
– Recording on a disc that has already been edited
– Recording only a still picture or just sound
,continued 37

Recording stereo and bilingual programmes
The recorder automatically receives and records stereo and bilingual programmes based on the
ZWEITON system or the NICAM system.
The HDD and a DVD-RW (VR mode) can record both main and sub sounds. You can switch between main and sub when playing the disc. For the HDD, you can select the sound track before recording. Select “Main,” “Sub,” or “Main+Sub” in “HDD Bilingual Rec.” of “Options” setup
A DVD+RW, DVD-RW (Video mode), DVD+R, or DVD-R can record only one sound track (main or sub) at a time. Select the sound track using the
Setup Display before recording starts. Set “DVD
Bilingual Rec.” to “Main” (default) or “Sub” in
ZWEITON (German stereo) system
When a stereo based programme is received,
“Stereo” appears.
When a bilingual ZWEITON based programme is received, “Main,” “Sub,” or “Main/Sub” appears.
NICAM system
When a stereo or bilingual NICAM based programme is received, “NICAM” appears in the front panel display.
To record a NICAM programme, be sure to set
“Audio” of “Channel Setting” in “Settings” setup to “NICAM” (default). If the sound is not clear when listening to NICAM broadcasts, set “Audio”
to “Standard” (see “Channel Setting” on page 80).
z Hint
You can select the audio (main or sub) while recording bilingual programmes using the (audio) button.
This does not affect the recorded sound.
Unrecordable pictures
Pictures with copy protection cannot be recorded on this recorder.
When the recorder receives a copy guard signal, the recorder continues to record but only a blank, grey coloured screen will be recorded.
