HProgramming a recording (TIMER)

General information

Use programming a recording (TIMER) to automatically start and stop a recording at a later date. The video recorder will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time.

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

To make a programmed recording, your video 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

This information is saved in a 'TIMER block'.

ENGLISH

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 video recorder will then turn on and off and 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. But if your TV guide gives a VPS or PDC time which is different from the programme's start time, e.g. '20.15 (VPS/PDC 20.14)', you must enter the VPS/PDC time '20.14' exact to the minute 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.

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.

Programming a recording (with 'ShowView')

Thanks to this programming system, you no longer need to do tediously enter the date, programme number, start and end time. All the information needed for programming is contained in the ShowView-programming number. This 9-digit ShowView number is found in every TV listings magazine.

1Switch on the TV set. If required, select the programme number for the video recorder.

2 Press TIMER k on the remote control.
