PROGRAMMED RECORDING (TIMER)

Use programmed recording to automatically start and stop a
recording at a later date.
To make a programmed recording, your video recorder needs
to know:
* the date you want to make the recording;
* the programme number for the TV channel you want to
record;
* the start and stop time of the recording;
The video recorder stores all the information in a TIMER block.
You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks a month in advance.
