Sony RDR-HXD710 Quick Timer problem
Chaps
I seem to have a problem with the "Quick Timer" function on the above unit. According to the manual, this operates much like it used to on Sony VCRs, ie you press the Record button repeatedly to set the recording time in 30 minute segments. For example, pressing the REC buttonm quickly three times will set the timer at 1 hour and count down from that, and stop recording automatically at the end. Trouble is, pressing my REC button any number of times has no effect - it just records normally, no sign of the Quick Record countdown timer. I was about to get in touch with Sony but before I do I wondered if anyone else has had the same issue? Many thanks |

Ah, got it. You need to turn off TV Direct Rec in Setup=>Features. Chris |

Did your other half get the 510 OTR? to work
I have turned the TV Direct Rec. function OFF, which was set to ON BY DEFAULT. But still don't seem to have the ability to press the record button in 30min increments. When pressing the REC button numerous times, the HDD REC just lights up in the bottom left of TV screen briefly. ( I think this would be the obvious place to see the record time). In the 510 op manual "Recording a program" page 31 it justs says "recording stops automatically after 8 hours" with no mention of OTR feature. Am I missing something!!!! Thanks for any help PC |

Thanks for any help PC As far as the manual goes that's where I found that TV Direct record must be off, copy downloaded from Sony website. |
