Timer recording
This DVD recorder can be programmed so that it can make up to seven recordings in a month. For recording with nobody in attendance, the timer has to know which signal sources (TV stations or from AV devices) should be recorded, and it needs the start time and the inputs which defi ne the record- ing length.

Notes:
•You should be aware that not all stations work with VPS.
•Stations that use VPS/PDC usually have VPS/PDC information on their teletext pages. Look for information on those pages when you are going to make a timer recording.
•It takes around 30 seconds for the recorder to tune in and for recording to begin. If you are using VPS/PDC, the fi rst few seconds of the programme may not be recorded.
•The actual time of day and the actual date will have to be keyed into the DVD recorder (see page 20).
•The energy saving function of Centros must be switched off (see page 21).

The AT (Auto) mode establishes how much |

the other modes). |
• Repeat: Select the repeat type that you |
require (once, daily (Monday - Friday) or |
weekly). |
• VPS/PDC: The VPS/PDC system automati- |
cally alters the recording time so that you do |
not miss the programme if the programme |
schedule has been changed. For VPS/PDC to |

time (which may differ from the actual time |
of day - see the Notes below) and the date |
of the programme that you wish to record. |
