The options for TIMER
programming
The recorder can be programmed to record at a
later date.
❒
You can programme:
– Six broadcasts over a period of 31 days,
– Daily or weekly broadcasts with the same starting
time,
– With or without VPS/PDC control,
– With standard or long playing time.
❒
You can choose from three variants:
1. With the ShowView system.
2. With the teletext pages from TV stations.
3. With user guide and manual data entry.
❒
VPS/PDC – the Video Programme System
VPS/PDC control when recording guarantees that
your desired broadcasts are always recorded
completely.
Incorrect recording resulting from programme
alterations no longer occurs.
❒
Notes on TIMER programming with
VPS/PDC
Many TV stations broadcast an additional pro-
gramme-related (VPS/PDC) signal which indicates
the start and duration of each individual TV
programme.
It is therefore important when programming the
recorder to enter the switch-on and switch-off
times to the exact minute.
It TV programmes are altered or moved, special
VPS/PDC times are indicated in the programme
indexes. They must be entered instead of the
normal starting times.
The recorder recognises these alterations and is
switched on at the actual start of the programme
and switched off at the actual end of the
programme.
❒
TV programmes without a
VPS/PDC signal
With TV stations that do not transmit a VPS/PDC
signal, recording is only started by the switch-on
time and only ended by the switch-off time.
This does not depend on whether the VPS/PDC
signal is confirmed or cleared during TIMER
programming.
❒
Programming a number of TV
programmes on one day
If you wish to record a number of TV programnmes
on one day, you must decide which one is to be
recorded completely if there is a risk of alterations
to timing.
Example:
You wish to record the 1st station from 20.15 to
21.45 and the 2nd second station from 21.50 to
22.30 hrs.
However, the programme from the 1st station is
extended by 15 minutes. The recorder records this
programme until 22.00, controlled by the VPS/PDC
signal. Only then does it switch to the second
station. This means that 10 minutes of the second
programme are missing.
If the programme from the 2nd station is to be
recorded from the beginning you must delete
VPS/PDC control when programming the 1st
station. The length of the recording is then
controlled by the switch-on and switch-off times.
Recording of the 1st station then ends at 21.45. The
recording of the 2nd station starts at 21.50.
❒
Programming all evening programmes
on one day
You wish to record all the evening programmes on
BBC (for example Saturday starting at 20.00
entertainment programme, winning lottery
numbers, film). In this case you must use a
separate TIMER position for each of these
programmes. Otherwise the recorder would stop
recording at the end of the first programme –
controlled by the VPS/PDC signal.
If you only wish to use one TIMER position for all
evening programmes (for example from 20.00 to
00.15) you must delete VPS/PDC control when
programming.
How to confirm and delete the VPS/PDC signal is
explained in the programming examples.
Ń
!
When recording TV stations which do not
broadcast a VPS/PDC signal, the recording is
started by the set switch-on time only and stopped
by the set switch-off time only.
Reason:
If two satellite programmes from different satellites
are pre-programmed with VPS/PDC control, the
satellite aerial constantly move back and forth
between the satellite positions. This can lead to an
overload of the aerial motor.
