Philips 21PV548, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 22 / 34

Use programmed recording to automatically start and stop a
recording at a later date.
The TV-Video Combi requires the following information for
each programmed recording:
* 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
* VPS/PDC on or off
The TV-Video Combi stores all above mentioned information in
a so-called TIMER-Block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER
blocks a whole month in advance.
’VPS’ (Video Programming System) /
’PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control)
With ’VPS/PDC’, the TV station controls the start time and the
length of the programmed recording. If a TV programme
begins earlier or ends later than planned, the TV-Video Combi
switches on and off at the
right time .
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS/PDC time. If a
different VPS/PDC time is indicated, e.g.: ’20.15 (VPS/PDC
20.14)’, the
VPS/PDC time ’20.14’ must be entered exactly to
the minute during programming.
If you would like to programme a time that differs from the
VPS/PDC time, you must switch off ’VPS/PDC’.
