Use'Programming arecording (TIMER)',to automaticallystart and stop
arecording at a later date.
TheDVD recorder will switch to the right programme number and
beginrecording at the correct time.
Onthis DVD recorder you can pre-programme up to 12 recordings
withina period of one month.
Tomake 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
Thisinformation is saved in a 'TIMER block'.
Beforeyou begin, make sure the clock is set. If the clock is not set, the
'Time/Date'menu will appear when you press the TIMER sbutton.
Whatis 'VPS/PDC'?
-'VPS' (Video ProgrammingSystem)/'PDC' (ProgrammeDelivery Control)
areused to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If
aTV programme starts earlier or ends later than was scheduled, the
DVDrecorder will then turn on and off at the correct time.
Whatdo I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?
-Usually the starttime 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)',
theVPS/PDC time '20.14'must be entered exactly to the minute
duringprogramming.
Ifyou 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
programmeson a TV channel using 'VPS/PDC', you will need to
programmethese as two separate recordings.
-Since the DVD recorder requires a certainlead time(for gettingthe
discup to speed and positioning the laser) before recording can start, it
ispossible that the recorder will miss the first few seconds of a TV
showrecorded with VPS/PDC.
Inthis case, disable VPS/PDC and enter a start time one minute
earlier.
