8.2 Recording with the timer

The menu "Timer recording" is intended primarily for recording Pay-TV programmes (e.g. Premiere). When using a Metz video recorder with „Data Logic“ you can also record SAT programmes* with this menu. For this purpose, the video recorder must be connected to the

EURO 2 socket.*only if a SAT upgrade kit is fitted

8 timers can be programmed up to 2 months in advance.

Example: A VHS video recorder with Data Logic is connected to the EURO 2 socket of the TV, while a Pay-TV decoder (e.g. Premiere) is connected to the EURO 1 socket. You now wish to record a film running on a Pay TV channel.

If no timers have been programmed before, the table in the menu is empty. If you have previously programmed timer recordings, these will be displayed in the table.

The current time of day and the current date are nee- ded for programming in the timer menu. The time is normally obtained from the Hi Text function and the date from the VPS signal. Note that some stations do not transmit VPS signals and/or Hi Text.

If the time and/or date are not detected automati- cally, you must enter them manually.

Timer recordings are not possible if the childlock is switched on.
