Timer recordings with the ShowView ® system
Programming timer recordings with this system
is child‘s play. Most television schedule publica-
tions include the ShowView code numbers along
with the information about the programmes. So
when you want to make a timer recording of a
programme, you only need to key in the appropri-
ate ShowView code number. The date, start time,
end time and station are set automatically. You
only need to set the recording quality and specify
whether it is to be a one-off or repeated recording.
You can save up to seven timer programmes on the
recorder.

menu (see page 27).
There is no electric current.
99 titles have already been recorded on the disc.
The recording start time is less than 3 minutes
from the time it was programmed.
You cannot program the timer under the fol-
lowing circumstances:
A recording is already in progress.
The start time required is in the past.
Seven timer recordings have already been
programmed.
Multiple overlapping timer programs:
The earlier recording takes priority.

If the disc is damaged, it is possible that the
