VPS and automatic time control
Your TV set can use the supporting technologies VPS (Video Programming
System) and automatic time control for recording a broadcast.
VPS serves for monitoring the start and end time of the broadcast with
analogue stations. The VPS time indication is compared by the digital
recorder with the start time programmed by the user. If both times cor-
respond the recording is started. However, VPS is not supported by all
stations.
The automatic time control assumes the corresponding monitoring of the
start and end time for DVB stations. The recording is started at the begin-
ning of the broadcast and switched off at the end, even if the start and/
or end time have been changed by the programme provider. Broadcast
interruptions are also taken into account. However, the automatic time
control is not supported by all stations.

DVB Common Interface standard (CI)
If a programme has been recorded coded, the decoding process is carried
out automatically the next night in the standby mode (when timer data
settings do not differ). Please note that the TV set may not be switched
off at the mains overnight and that the CA module with SmartCard must
be inserted in the CI slot of the TV set.
If the recording is not decoded fairly soon after decoding, it may not be
possible to decode it at all. The longer the time between recording and
decoding, the greater the probability that the code is no longer valid.
➠ Scrambled hard disc recordings appear in the timer list until they are
descrambled (page 89).
➠ You can also start decoding manually (see page 97).
➠ Your programme provider may not support later (time offset) descram-
bling.
You can have programmes from scrambled stations descrambled already
in DR continuous mode. This saves you having to decode directly recorded
scrambled programmes later. An appropriate CA module with SmartCard
must be inserted in the TV set's CI slot for this.
➠ The playback of encrypted programmes is strongly dependent on
which CA module is used. The playback of encrypted recordings may
sometimes not be possible, or only to a limited extent.
Hint: When possible, record unencrypted programmes or unencrypt
them as soon as possible.
➠ Selection possibilities in the CA module menu (see operating manual
of the TV set) and performance capability of your CA module depend
on the type of module used and the installed software. Consult the
manufacturer of the module if you have any questions.
