6. Programming a recording (TIMER)

General information

Use a TIMER programming to automatically start and stop a recording at a later time or date. The video recorder will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time. With this video recorder, you can pre-programme up to eight recordings within a period of one year. To make a programmed recording, your video 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

*PDC on or off

This information is saved in a 'TIMER' block.

What is 'PDC'?

'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control) is used to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than scheduled, the video recorder will turn on and off at the correct time.

What do I need to know about 'PDC'? Usually the PDC time is the same as the start time. But if your TV guide shows a PDC time which is different from the programme’s sched- uled start time, e.g. 20.10 (PDC 20.14), you must enter the PDC time exactly to the minute. If you want a start time different from the PDC time, you must switch PDC off.

Programming a recording (with the VIDEO Plus+® system)

Thanks to this programming system, you no longer need to tediously enter the date, pro- gramme number, start and end time. All the information needed for programming is con- tained in the PlusCode programming number. You can find this PlusCode programming number in most TV listing magazines written next to the concerned programme.

1.Switch the TV on. If applicable, select the programme number for the video recorder operation.

2.Press SV/V+ on the remote control.

Error message: 'FULL'

If this error message appears after pressing SV/V+ , then all TIMER blocks are already programmed. No more recordings can be programmed. If you want to clear a programmed recording (TIMER block), select the programme number on TIMER LIST menu and press CLEAR .

3.Enter the entire PlusCode programming num- ber. This number is up to 9 digits long and can be found next to the start time of the TV pro- gramme in your TV listing magazine.

[e.g: 1-234-5 or 1 234 5]

If you make a mistake, you can clear your input with CLEAR .
