Pioneer DVR-550H-S Operating Instructions - Page 40

05 Recording 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). • Approximately two minutes before a timer recording is set to start, the recorder will go into timer recording standby. In timer recording standby you cannot use some functions. • The maximum length for timer recordings made to the HDD is 24 hours. However, because one title (HDD) is limited to 12 hours, recordings over 12 hours will be spread over two titles. Note that there will be a break in the recording of a few seconds between titles. • When a scheduled recording finishes, this unit's power is not turned off if the power for the plasma television is on. If you want this unit's power to turn off after a timer recording finishes, set the HDMI Control to Off (page 115). Easy Timer Recording As the name suggests, Easy Timer Recording makes setting up a timer recording as simple as possible.
