LProgramming a recording (TIMER)

General

Use 'Programming a recording (TIMER)', to automatically start and stop a recording at a later date.

The DVD recorder will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time.

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

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 * VPS or PDC on or off

* the recording mode (picture quality) ('M1/M2/M2x/M3/M4/M6/M8')

Fit to space Recording
You can select also the recording mode 'FR' .
With these setting the recording mode (bit rate) will be automatically
calculated to use the complete empty space (title 'Empty').
If the empty space is too small the recording will be stopped to prevent the	Tip
following titles from being overwritten.	Tip

This information is saved in a 'TIMER block'.

Before you begin, make sure the clock is set. If the clock is not set, the 'Time/Date' menu will appear when you press the TIMER s button.

What is '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.

What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?

•Usually the start time is the same as the VPS or PDC time. If a different 'VPS/PDC time' is indicated, e.g.: '20.15 (VPS/PDC 20.14)', the VPS/PDC time '20.14' must be entered exactly to the minute during programming.

If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS or PDC time, you must switch off VPS or PDC.

•Only one TV program of a TV channel can be controlled using 'VPS/PDC' at a time. If you want to record two or more TV programmes on a TV channel using 'VPS/PDC', you will need to programme these as two separate recordings.

•Since the DVD recorder requires a certain lead time (for getting the disc up to speed and positioning the laser) before recording can start, it is possible that the recorder will miss the first few seconds of a TV show recorded with VPS/PDC.

In this case, disable VPS/PDC and enter a start time one minute earlier.
