When the recording drive is “DVD” and there is not 
enough remaining blank space, recording automatically 
switches to the “HDD”. If there is no disc in the tray or 
the disc cannot be recorded on or when timer recording 
starts while copying, the recording drive will be altered to 
the HDD.
 The DIRECT NAVIGATOR shows which programmes 

were relief-recorded (“   ” is displayed.) (  36).

 If the time remaining on the HDD is insufficient, as 

much of the programme as possible will be recorded 
onto the HDD.

[HDD]
If you record a programme onto HDD repeatedly 
everyday or every week using timer recording, or if you 
record a programme of series onto HDD repeatedly 
using Series timer recording, the unit will record the new 
programme over the old one.
This function can be used only when daily, weekly or 
series timer recording is selected.

Notes

 If a programme set for Auto Renewal Recording is protected or 

while play back is taking place from the HDD, or while copying, 
the programme will not be overwritten. Instead the programme 
set for recording will be saved as a separate programme, and this 
programme will be the one to be overwritten when the next Auto 
Renewal Recording takes place.

 Playlists made from programmes that were set for Auto Renewal 

Recording are deleted along with auto renewal.

 When there is not enough space on the HDD, the programme may 

not be recorded completely.

on after recording fi nishes. It does not turn off automatically. You can

immediately one after the other, the unit cannot record the part at the 
beginning of the later programmes.
