HOW DO I PROGRAMME A TIMED
RECORDING?
In the following chapter we will guide you through the different
possibilities of programming your video recorder, so that it will
switch itself on automatically, record the TV programme you
have chosen and then switch itself off automatically, all of this up
to 1 month in advance.
What information Is needed by the video recorder?
For every timed recording you must give the video recorder the
following information:
• the starting time of the recording
• the ending time of the recording
• the date on which the recording Is to be made
• the programme number of the corresponding TV channel
Information necessary for timed recordings is stored in
a so-called TIMER block.
Your video recorder can store up to 6 different TIMER blocks.
It is important to note the following:
The automatic time-switch (TIMER) will only switch the video
recorder on automatically if it is switched off at the moment the
timed recording has to start.
Always make sure that the video recorder is switched off before
a timed recording must start. If necessary press button (|).
How to programme the video recorder
You have a choice of 2 different kinds of timed recording:
• You can either enter the data which is necessary for the
timed recording directly into the video recorder or alternatively
also with the help of the buttons on the remote control.
We will refer to this possibility as 'Programming on the video
recorder*.
• You can enter the data which is necessary for the timed
recording Into the remote control and finally transmit it to the
video recorder. We will refer to this possibility as 'Programming

Programming on the video recorder
You can also enter the data for a timed recording directly Into the
video recorder. It is possible to use either the buttons on the
video recorder or the buttons on the remote control.
Next, you must enter step by step all of the data which Is
necessary for the timed recording. You may use the digit buttons
