Timer Programming
Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to remind watching or
record to the external recorder or the USB HDD. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the correct channel
automatically to record even if the TV is in Standby mode.
TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming event (p. 22).
Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.
•
For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either On or in standby. For reminders to be displayed, the TV must be On.
•
No other channel can be selected while the recording of Timer Programming is in progress.
•
It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).
•
When recording programmes to the external recorder, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected to the TV.
•
If a compatible recorder with Q-Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 84) and the [Link
Settings] (p. 34) are correct, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.
If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies, set the timer of the recorder in addition
•
to the Timer Programming on the TV. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.
When recording programmes to the USB HDD, be sure to format the USB HDD and enable it for recording in [Recording Setup] (p. 55).
•
Recordings to the external recorders are always in standard definition composite video via SCART,
•
even if the original programme is in high definition.

Auto mode
Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process
(WSS, Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection or Justify to fill the screen).
This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.
Letterbox detection:
If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the best ratio and
expands the image to fill the screen.
If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.
Note
The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands
•
at the top and bottom of the screen may appear.
If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR,
•
adjust the tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.
