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 TV-Video Combi will switch to the right pro- gramme number and begin recording at the cor- rect time. With this TV-Video Combi, you can pre-programme up to eight recordings within a period of one year. To make a programmed recording, your TV-Video Combi 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

*PDC on or off [14PV235 / 21PV385]

This information is saved in a 'TIMER' block.

[14PV235 / 21PV385] What is 'PDC'?

'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control) is used to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than scheduled, the TV-Video Combi will turn on and off at the correct time.

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