Timer Recording

This Recorder can be programmed to record up to 8 pro- grams within a period of 1 month.

•Media – Choose a media (DVD or VCR).

•PR – Choose a memorized program number, or one of the external inputs from which to record.

•Date – Choose a date up to 1 month in advance, or select a daily or weekly program.

•Start Time – Set the recording start time.

•End Time – Set the recording end time.

•Mode – Choose a record mode. DVD: SP, LP, EP, XP, or AT (Auto) VCR: SP, LP, AT (Auto)

AT (Auto) mode determines how much time is available on the disc or tape and switches record mode, if necessary, to complete recording the program. AT mode cannot be selected when VPS/PDC is ON.

•VPS/PDC – The VPS/PDC system automatically adjusts the recording time so that even if a pro- gram is not running to schedule, you won’t miss it. For VPS/PDC to work properly, you must input the correct announced time and date of the pro- gram you want to record.

Note that VPS/PDC may not work with every sta- tion.

otes

•Stations that use VPS/PDC typically include VPS/PDC information in the teletext TV guide pages. Please refer to these pages when set- ting a timer recording.

•This recorder takes approximately 20 seconds to switch on and start recording. This means that when using VPS/PDC, there may be instances where the beginning of the program is not recorded.
