Tomake a programmed recording, your video recorder needs
toknow:
•thedate you want to make the recording;
•theprogramme number of the TV channel you want to record;
•thestart and stop time of the recording;
•whetheryou want to use VPS or PDC (see below); and
•therecording speed (SP or LP).
Thevideo recorder stores all this information in a TIMER block.
Youcan programme up to six TIMER blocks a month in advance.

VPS (video programming system) and PDC

(programme delivery control)

WithVPS and PDC, the TV station controls the start time and
lengthof 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.
Usuallythe start time is the same as the VPS/PDC time. But if
yourTV guide gives a VPS or PDC time which is different to the
programme’sstart time (for example, 20.15and VPS 20.14), you
mustenter ’20.14’ as the starttime.
Ifyou want to programme a time that is different from the VPS
andPDC time, you must switch off VPS and PDC.
DWithmost TV stations the VPS and PDC time are always
thesame as the start time.
