Programming a recording or a transfer
Your DVD recorder lets you program recordings or transfers. Programming several recordings is
really useful when it uses the high capacity of the hard disc, thereby enabling you to go beyond
the limited capacities of DVD R/RW discs.You can programme recordings using the manual 9 step
method or by choosing, for channels which broadcast the programme guide, the Naviclick
programming.
Manually programming a recording
Use the navigation keys to access the Add Timer menu
Note: your DVD recorder can memorise the parameters of 16
different programmings, or 15 programmings and 1 transfer. In
the case of double programming, a warning message is displayed.
For NAVICLICK programming, refer to page 14.

Press the INFO key to access the keyboard table. Enter the name of the recording letter by
letter and confirm.
Channel

displayed) or browse the list of channels in the memory of the DVD recorder using the
PR+/PR-.
b) Or select one of the Audio-Video (AV2,AV3) sockets to which is connected a device
(satellite receiver or other) using the B key.
Note: selecting the AV2 connector allows you to program the recording of a satellite receiver programme
(either left switched on or also programmed) connected to this connector.The selecting of the AV2 connector
is activated by default by the AV Timer function (triggering of programming via the AV connector).

same day, and / or select a period
using theB key.

Each Tue: to record the same programme the same day every week starting from today (supposing today
is Tuesday).

Time
Enter the recording start time and then the stop time.
To this end, and according to the features of the receivers, you must:
- either program the receiver with the same beginning and end times, then switch off the
DVD recorder and the receiver,
- or leave the satellite receiver switched on, on the channel to record, program the DVD
recorder, then switch it off.
Note: if you selected AV2 (Channel, step b above), you do not need to enter the start and stop times, since
it is the device that is connected that triggers the start and stop of the recording at the times set via its
programming menu.
