Programming a Recording (TIMER)

General information

Use a TIMER programming to automatically start and stop a
recording at a later time or date.The DVD/ VCR will switch to
the right programme number and begin recording at the cor-
rect time.With this DVD/ VCR, you can pre-programme up to
eight recordings within a period of one year.To make a pro-
grammed recording, your DVD/ VCR 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
This information is saved in a TIMER block.
What is 'VPS/PDC'?
'VPS' (Video Programming System)/ 'PDC' (Programme Delivery
Control) are used to control the start and duration of TV channel
recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than
scheduled, the DVD/ VCR will turn on and off at the correct time.
What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?
Usually the VPS or PDC time is the same as the start time. But if
your TV guide shows a VPS or PDC time which is different from
the programme's scheduled start time, e.g. 20.10 (VPS/PDC
20.14), you must enter the VPS/PDC time exact to the minute. If
you want a start time different from the VPS/PDC time, you must
switch VPS/PDC off.
