JProgramming a recording (TIMER)
General
Use 'Programming a recording (TIMER)', to automatically start and stop a recording at a later date.
The DVD recorder will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time.
With this DVD recorder, you can
To make a programmed recording, your DVD 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
*the recording mode ('M1/M2/M2x/M3/M4/M6')
This information is saved in a 'TIMER block'.
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 DVD recorder |
|
will then turn on and off at 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. If a different |
|
'VPS/PDC time' is indicated, e.g.: '20.15 (VPS/PDC 20.14)', the VPS/PDC time |
|
'20.14' must be entered exactly to the minute during programming. |
|
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. |
|
• Since the DVD recorder requires a certain lead time (for getting the disc up to |
|
speed and positioning the laser) before recording can start, it is possible that |
|
the recorder will miss the first few seconds of a TV show recorded with |
|
VPS/PDC. | ? |
In this case, disable VPS/PDC and enter a start time one minute earlier. |
