Does this radio have a timer I can set to record a program or do I have to be there to to make a recording?

I can see that you can record in the radio mode, but it does not allow you to set a timer to start or end the recording job.

From the manual: AUTO RECORD FUNCTIONThe auto record time setting function is the same as the autoturn on time setting function. After setting the auto recordtime, push the <Working Mode Switch> to "Voice". When youreach the auto record time, the unit starts to record. If you setthe sleep timer, the unit will stop recording and turn off whenit reaches the end of the sleep timer set time; if you don't setthe sleep timer, the unit will record for 90 minutes and thenturn off automatically.

As I remember it does not work like a DVR or VCR. You have to be there. I think the longest that it will record is 90 minutes, maybe 120 minutes. My unit no longer works. There is another company that sells a product that has what you are looking for. I can't remember the name but the cost is around 3-4 times the cost of this unit. Good luck.

I returned the radio after receiving. I live midway between LosAngeles & SanDiego (60 mi. either way). I could not get more than 2 stations. You need to live near a city for it to work. I cannot ans. your question. Buy via Amazon Prime and you can return very easy if not happy. Lots of bennies/w Prime.

I don't know of any XM radio that has recording capability. The only thing I can suggest is if you have an on-line subscription and audio capture software such as Roxio Creator, you can record the channel, but it doesn't have timed recording like a DVR.

You do not have to turn the power off before the scheduled program time comes. The machine will tell you it's going to change channels a few minutes before the recording starts. Also there is a M-F record setting and also a M-Saturday setting for record.

There is no record function. There is only the normal broadcast mode as well as an auxiliary mode.

Yes you can set it at 2 or 10 seconds. There is also about a one second delay when recording video. This may just be the camera or a built in self timer to not record your hands.

Sorry, can't help, have not tried to record with this machine. But there is a record button on the remote, so you must be able or that would not be there. Make sense.

I didn't set timer for recording. However, the recording can only assign to one camera only and that explains the stop switching issue. Defender do have their tech support website at http://www.defender-usa.com/support.eng-3.html?type=&search;=&cat;_id=2

No... I don't have it connected to my computer at all times... only when I want to record something of my DVR. But, this means you cannot automatically schedule recordings.

Unfortunately, you cannot set the device to record from the radio at a future time.

When you program it to record a show, it will turn itself on to record the show and then back off when done. If you want to record something that's already started, change to the right channel, and just hit the record button.

Yes, Venida A. you can record a FM radio signal. The problem is finding FM Programs that are worth recording! sincerely, Thomas A.

No, you can't. You can set alarm time on and off, and option to record. You must leave it on the station and then it will record as you set it to. It is a single event (with options) recording. Thanl you for asking!

I don't think it has a recording feature. I've read you can buy software to help it record but I haven't used it that way personally

Yes, you will be able to set up recording of programs off the air ahead of time but the feature does not work the way you would expect. In my tuner, the calendar is a few days behind the actual date and I always need to correct programming for that offset. The other inconvenience is that the tuner does not automatically takes the channel number and the time from the program guide. I need to set up recording manually. To make HD TV recording it is important to use a fast USB 3.0 hard or flash drive. I am using PNY flash drive with 130MB/s writing speed and it provides high quality HD recording.

you can set it to just record on to your computer but you will have to come back when the playing is done.

You can not use the RF-in and RF-Out to record/watch timed TV shows directly off the air. However, as long as you have an external tuner that can feed A/V signals in to this unit, then you can set it to record off that input at the appropriate times. That means you can only record the channel the external tuner is tuned to. If the tuner has the capability to automatically switch channels at the appropriate times, then this unit will work fine. I personally bought it to be able to play and edit shows recorded on DVD-RAM discs from my older US-model Panasonic DVRs.

1) It has a program guide, but only for the channel you are currently watching. It glitches when you change channels, so you have to reload the guide each time. And it uses military time - you can't change to normal time.2) Yes, you record using the guide. There is no built-in video storage, so you'll want to buy a really big USB storage device, even a portable hard drive. Each hour uses at least a few GB since most broadcast channels are HD now. No recording quality options.3) The guide button on the remote is really tiny, among 12 buttons in rows at the bottom.
