Programming a recording (TIMER)

General information

Use programming a recording (TIMER) to automatically start and stop a recording at a later 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 six recordings within a period of one
month.
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
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, the video recorder will then turn on
and off and the correct time.
What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?
You must enter the start time exactly to the minute.
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS or PDC time,
you must switch off VPS or PDC.
Only one TV program of a TV channel can be controlled using 'VPS/PDC' at a
time. If you want to record two or more TV programmes on a TV channel
using 'VPS/PDC', you will need to programme these as two separate
recordings.
