recordingat a later date.
Tomake a programmed recording, your video recorder needs
toknow:
*the date you want to make the recording;
*the programme number for the TV channel you want to
record;
*the start and stop time of the recording;
*whether you want to use VPS or PDC
Thevideo recorder stores all the information in a TIMER block.
Youcan programme up to 6 TIMER blocks a month in advance.
’VPS’ (Video Programming System) and
’PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control) (UK)
With’VPS and PDC’, the TV stationcontrols the start time and
thelength of the recording. This means that the video recorder
switchesitself on and off at the right time even if a TV
programmeyou want to record begins earlier or finishes later
thanexpected.
Youmust enter the start time exactly to the minute.
Ifyou want to programme a time that is different from the VPS
orPDC time, you must switch off VPS or PDC.
