STOP REC 6 Press to stop recording. • If you set the recording time in the previous step, you can still stop the recording anytime by pressing F STOP REC. • Recording will stop automatically when there is no more space on the HDD/DVD, or after 12 hours of HDD recording (whichever is sooner). About timer recordings DVD (VR) DVD (Video) DVD+R DVD+RW DVD-RAM HDD Using the timer recording features you can program up to 32 timer recordings up to a month in advance. Timer recording programmes can be set to record just once, every day, or every week. There are three ways to set a timer recording; using the Easy Timer Recording feature (see Easy Timer Recording on page 40), using the VCR Plus+ programming system (see Timer recording using the VCR Plus+ programming system on page 41), or using manual timer recording (see Setting a manual timer recording on page 42). 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 (if recording to DVD), or to fit on to a blank DVD disc (if recording to the HDD). You can set timer recordings to record to a recordable DVD or to the hard disk drive. For regular (daily or weekly) HDD timer recordings that you don't need to keep, you can use the Auto Replace Recording feature to automatically replace the previous timer recording with the new one. Note that when you use this feature, the previous recording made on that timer programme will be replaced by the next one, regardless of whether you have watched it yet or not. 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 117 for more on this). Finally, if you set a timer recording to record to DVD but there isn't a recordable DVD loaded at the time of the recording, the Recovery Recording feature will automatically record the programme to the HDD for you. Important • A timer recording can't be set if there are already 32 timer programmes waiting to be recorded. • Timer recording will not start if: - The recorder is already recording. - A disc is being initialized, finalized or unfinalized. • Timer recording will start when the operation preventing timer recording has finished. • When the front panel display is set to ON, the timer indicator ( ) lights in the front panel display when the timer is active. If the indicator is blinking it means that (for a DVD timer recording) there is no disc loaded, or the disc loaded is not recordable (for an HDD timer recording it means that the HDD is not recordable). Note 1 Except during Chase Play. 39 En
