Timer programming
The DVD recorder needs the following information for every programmed recording:
-the date on which the recording is to be made;
-the channel;
-the start and stop time of the recording;
-VPS/PDC on or off;
-the recording mode.
The DVD recorder stores all the information mentioned above in a timer block. You can programme up to six timer blocks, one month in advance.
When you have programmed the timer, a red line on the disc bar (both on the display and on the Index Picture Screen) indicates what part of the disc will be overwritten by the programmed recording from the current disc position (on DVD+RW) or after the last title (on DVD+R).
When all timer blocks are full, the options timer programming and VIDEO Plus+ system cannot be accessed. For clearing a timer block, see ‘How to clear a timer block’.
What is ’VPS’/‘PDC’?
With ’VPS/PDC’, the TV station controls the beginning and the length of the programmed recording. This means that the video recorder switches itself on and off at the right time even if a TV programme you have programmed begins earlier or finishes later than expected.
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS/PDC time. If, however, in the TV guide, in addition to a TV programmes start time, a different VPS/PDC time is given, e.g.: ’20.15 (VPS 20.14)’, you must enter ’20.14’ as the start time exactly to the minute. If you want to enter a time that differs from the VPS/PDC time, you must switch off ’VPS/PDC’.
Timer programming with the VIDEO PLUS+® system
A PlusCode number is a number of up to nine digits, printed in most TV guides next to the start time of a TV programme.
All the information required for programming is encoded in the PlusCode number.
•Select ‘VIDEO Plus+ system’ with v (up cursor) or w (down cursor).
