7. Programming a recording (TIMER)

General information

Use a TIMER programming to automatically start and stop a recording at a later time or date. The video recorder will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time. With this video recorder, you can pre-programme up to eight recordings within a period of one year. To make a programmed recording, your video recorder needs to know:

*the date you want to make the recording

*the programme number of the TV channel

*the start and stop time of the recording

*VPS or PDC on or off

This information is saved in a 'TIMER block

What is 'VPS/PDC'?

'VPS' (Video Programming System)/ 'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control) are used to con- trol the start and duration of TV channel record- ings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than scheduled, the video recorder will turn on and off at the correct time.

What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'? Usually the VPS or PDC time is the same than the start time. But if your TV guide shows a VPS or PDC time which is different from the programme’s scheduled start time, e.g. 20.10 (VPS/PDC 20.14), you must enter the VPS/PDC time exact to the minute. If you want a start time different from the VPS/PDC time, you must switch VPS/PDC off.

Programming a recording (with 'VIDEO Plus+® system')

Thanks to this programming system, you no longer need to tediously enter the date, pro- gramme number, start and end time. All the information needed for programming is con- tained in the PlusCode number.

You can find this PlusCode number is most TV listing magazines written next to the concerned programme.

1.Switch on the TV set. If required, select the programme number for the video recorder.

2.Press on the remote control.

3.Enter the entire PlusCode number. This num- ber is up to 9 digits long and can be found next to the start time of the TV programme in your TV listing magazine. [e.g: 1-234-5 or 1 234 5]

If you make a mistake, you can clear your input with CLEAR .
