Programming a recording (TIMER)
General information
Use programmed recording (TIMER) to automatically start and stop a recording at a later date.
The DVD recorder will switch to the right program number and begin recording at the correct
time.
With this DVD recorder, you can pre-program up to 6 recordings within a period of one
month.
To make a programmed recording, your DVD recorder needs to know:
* the date you want to make the recording
* the program number of the TV channel
* the start and stop time of the recording
* VPS or PDC on or off
* the recording mode ('
HQ
/
SP
/
SP+
/
LP
/
EP
').
This information is saved in a TIMER block.
What is 'VPS/PDC'?
With 'VPS' (Video Programming System)/ 'PDC'(Programme Delivery Control)
the TV station controls the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a
TV programme starts earlier or ends later than was scheduled, the DVD
recorder will still switch itself on and off and the correct times.
What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?
Usually the start time is the
same
as the VPS or PDC time. But if your TV
guide gives a VPS or PDC time which is different from the programme's start
time, e.g. '20.15 (VPS/PDC 20.14)', you must enter the
VPS/PDC time
'20.14'
exact to the minute
as the start time.
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS or PDC time,
you must switch off VPS or PDC.
Only one TV programme on a TV channel can be controlled using 'VPS/PDC'
at a time. If you want to record two or more TV programmes on a TV
channel using 'VPS/PDC', you will need to programme these as two separate
recordings.
