7.14 Timer recordings

You can use the DVR timer to record programmes to an attached recording medium while
you are out. Your receiver is equipped with video recorder timers and channel-switching
timers. In terms of their programming, these timer types differ only in name. You can
programme the timers manually as described in this chapter, or use the EPG function.
1. DVR timer
This function is used to switch your digital receiver on and off for the selected programme,
to record it to the storage medium while you are out.
If the receiver is switched on by the DVR timer, this is indicated by "rEc" in the display.
Some of the remote control functions (e.g. calling up the main menu) are unavailable.
2. Video recorder timer
If the video recorder timer is selected, your digital receiver will be switched on and off for the
selected programme, allowing you to record programmes to an external recording unit while
you are out (e.g. a video recorder). If the device is switched on by the video recorder timer,
this will be indicated by the message "rEc" in the display. Certain remote control functions
will be unavailable. Please note that the corresponding recorder must also be programmed.
3. Channel switching timer
If your receiver is in normal operating mode, it will switch to the programmed channel at the
set time.
In contrast to using the DVR or video recorder timer option, the device remains fully
functional and will not be switched off at the end of the programme.
4. Alarm
If your receiver is in standby mode, it is switched on when the programmed channel is
reached at the set time. In contrast to using the DVR or video recorder timer option, the
device remains fully functional and will not be switched off at the end of the programme.
7.14.1 Timer settings (pre-roll time/post-roll time)
With EPG timer programming, the receiver receives the data for the selected programme
automatically via the EPG data. This means that the start and end times for the programme
to be recorded are transferred to the exact minute.
