Philips 21PV708-715-908-918/39 manual Programmed Recording Timer, ’PDC’ Programme Delivery Control

7.PROGRAMMED RECORDING (TIMER)

Use programmed recording to automatically start and stop a recording at a later date.

To make a programmed recording, your TV-VIDEO Combi needs to know:

*the date you want to make the recording;

*the programme number for the TV channel you want to record;

*the start and stop time of the recording;

*whether you want to use VPS or PDC;

*the recording speed (SP/LP).

The TV-VIDEO Combi stores all the information in a TIMER block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks a month in advance.

’VPS’ (Video Programming System) and

’PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control)

With ’VPS and PDC’, the TV station controls the start time and the length of the recording. This means that the TV-VIDEO Combi switches itself on and off at the right time even if a TV programme you want to record begins earlier or finishes later than expected.

Usually the start time is the same as the VPS or PDC time. But if your TV guide gives a VPS or PDC time which is different to the programme’s start time (for example, 20.15 and VPS 20.14), you must enter ’20.14’ as the start time.

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