Timer Recording

Introduction Programming recordings

i s h

Use 'Timer Recording’ to automatically start and stop a recording at a later date/ time. The DVD recorder will tune to the right programme number and begin recording at the specified time.

With this DVD recorder, you can pre- programme up to six recordings within a period of 15 days.

To make a programmed recording, your DVD 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.

–The recording mode (M1/M2/M2x/M3/ M4/M6/M8), see page 35.

About 'VPS/PDC’

'VPS' (Video Programming System)/'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control) are used to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than was scheduled, the DVD recorder will then turn on and off at the correct time.
