TIMER Menu

You can only store when in the stop time menu option.

If you exit the Timer menu by pressing the .button without storing, the old setting is retained.

Attention!

The entered Timer times must make a sense (start time before stop time). They are not allowed to overlap each other (start time of next Timer position before stop time of preceding Timer position).

If the stop time lies before the start time, Timer operation will be terminated only next day (for example, with 15.40 ... 13.20 hours. However, for recording a programme broadcast bet- ween 23.40 and 0.40 hours, this entry makes sense and is necessary).

Timer operation

As soon as the start time is reached, the corresponding pro- gramme is switched on. The symbol for the active Timer is flashing (e.g. 1 with Timer 1).

At the same time, a switching voltage is output on the EURO- AV VCR socket. Correspondingly equipped video recorders switch immediately to "AV recording".

When the stop time is reached, the receiver switches to standby and the Timer concerned is automatically cleared.

The switching voltage on the EURO-AV VCR socket is switched off. Correspondingly equipped video recorders switch to "STOP".

During timer operation (flashing Timer symbol), it is not allo- wed to make any adjustments on the recorder or by means of the remote control handset. This would interfere with Timer recording.

Remote control via a video recorder

If you possess a correspondingly equipped GRUNDIG video recorder, the receiver can remotely be controlled in a very convenient way via the recorder. In this case, preprogram- ming of up to 8 Timer positions is possible.

The necessary remote control cable can be obtained as GRUNDIG accessory.

The cable must be connected to the video recorder and to the socket q` (REM. CONTR. VCR) on the receiver (see "Rear of Receiver"). Then, the receiver can be switched to standby. When a programme is recorded, the indication "VCR-REC". is flashing in the display of the receiver. During a video recor- ding, it is not allowed to make any adjustments on the recei- ver (or with the remote control handset of the receiver). This would interfere with the recording.

Clearing a Timer position

It is possible to clear a programmed Timer position in the fol- lowing way:

Press the .button to open the Timer menu.

Select the desired Timer position with the xcbuttons. (The above steps are not necessary if you are already in the Timer menu and the desired Timer position is selected). Press the button.

The display indicates:

TIMER o p ü +

I99 XCLEARXX STEREO

SIGNAL IIIIIIIIIIIII

Now, if you press the Obutton, the selected Timer position is cleared and the Timer menu is automatically exited.

If you press the ] button instead, the Timer position will not be cleared and you can change the set values.

Indicating the Timer functions

During normal operation, the symbols of all programmed Timer positions are illuminated in the receiver´s display. When the Timer menu is active, the indication "TIMER" and the symbol of the selected Timer are visible in the display. During Timer operation, the symbols of the programmed Timer positions are illuminated and the symbol of the active Timer is flashing.
