Intelligent Timer Function
Many TV programmes are broadcast as a series, like dramas or Soaps, on different days of the week. These are often broadcast
on the same channel and time each day. The Intelligent Timer Function remembers the channel number along with the start and
end times of the last 8 programmes that you have recorded using Timer Recording or VIDEO Plus+.
By simply pressing the [I-TIMER] button
(15)
the details of the last 8 Timer Recording programmes are displayed on the screen
with today or tomorrows date, (depending on whether the time set has elapsed yet). The details of each of the 8 memorised
recordings can be used or changed to set a new timer recording.
Notes for using this function.
Details of up to 8 timer recordings are held in memory and are used to repeat a previous recording of a TV programme but on a
new date and time. The Intelligent Timer Function cannot be used until at least one timer recording or VIDEO Plus+ Programme
has been recorded.
Details of Weekly or Daily Timer Recording are not memorised and cannot be used with this function.
