Timer recording using the G-Code™ programming system

This system makes programming timer recordings very simple. Most TV guides publish G-Code programming numbers with their program details. If you want to make a timer recording of a program, you just input the corresponding code. The date, start, stop and channel settings are made automatically. All you have to do is tell the recorder the recording mode, and whether it’s a once-only recording or a regular recording.
