Timer functions - Overview

If you want to make recordings during your
absence, your video recorder and the Loewe TV
set offer easy programming facilities.
If you have a TV magazine with ShowView
numbers, use the ShowView Timer of the video
recorder.
You can programme single, Mon-Fri, daily (Mon-
Sun) or weekly recordings on the video recorder.
If the video recorder is connected to a new
generation Loewe TV set (MediaPlus Q2400/
Q2500), you can easily programme Timer
recordings. EPG (Electronic Programme Guide)
and Teletext are available for programming
assistance.
In the video operation mode of the TV set, call up
the video menu and select whether you want to
programme with the help of EPG or Teletext. With
EPG, you can display the broadcasts that interest
you, selected by day and time, station and theme.
Highlight the broadcasts that you want to record.
The Timer data will be transferred to the video
recorder. For programming via Teletext, select the
station, and then search through the list for the
broadcast to be recorded.
If the broadcast to be recorded is received by
satellite, the picture and sound will be transferred
from the TV set via the Euro AV cable to the video
recorder.
Up to seven programming entries per month can
be made on the video recorder.
The video recorder is equipped with a control that
ensures that in the event of a power failure the
stored stations and the programmed Timer data
are not lost.

Note the following:
• If a recording is programmed and no cassette
is loaded, the cassette symbol on the video
recorder display flashes.
• Insert a cassette without recording protection
into the cassette compartment.
• If a cassette with the tab removed (recording
protection active) is inserted, it will be ejected
again when the unit is switched to standby
mode.
• The cassette must of course have enough
capacity for the programmed recording time.
• If a Timer recording is programmed into the
video recorder, the word "TIMER" appears
above the cassette symbol.
• When programming a timer recording on the
TV set, a cassette without recording protection
must be inserted in the video recorder. If not,
no timer data will be stored in the video
recorder.
• If a satellite recording is programmed on the
Loewe TV set, the cassette symbol will not
flash, since the video recorder's timer does not
contain any data for this recording. The video
recorder will not eject a cassette with
recording protection if the unit is switched to
standby mode.
The recording process is controlled by the TV
set. You must check and observe these points
to ensure that a recording from the satellite
tuner of the Loewe TV set is successful. The TV
set must not be disconnected from the mains
supply or switched off at the mains, otherwise
the Timer data will be lost. The video recorder
on the other hand may be switched off, but
not disconnected from the mains (do not
remove mains plug!).

• If, for a Loewe TV set without Digital Link
Plus but with Digital Link, a recording is
programmed on the TV, Digital Link on the
video recorder must be switched on (see
Page 23). The recording will then also be
controlled by the TV set for broadcasts
received via cable or antenna. Picture and
sound will be transferred from the TV set to
the video recorder. While recording, the
station cannot be changed, unless you have
another TV tuner, or are playing from a
second video recorder or DVD player.
• If, on a Loewe TV set a Timer recording is set
to "daily", then "Mon–Fri" is used on the
video recorder. If you want to record daily
from Monday to Sunday correct it on the
video recorder by selecting "daily" here.
• Normally the VPS time is the start time of
the broadcast. If VPS is to be effective, this
time must be entered exactly. If you only
want to record part of the broadcast,
deactivate VPS on the Timer settings and
enter the appropriate time.
If, for example, a substitute broadcast was
recorded in the station, then the VPS time is
not the start time.
