Timer recording allows you to automatically start and stop
a recording at a later date.The DVD recorder system
switches to the right programme number and starts
recording at the time entered.
You can pre-programme up to 6 recordings within a period
of one month.
Following information has to be keyed in to make a timer
recording:
–
the date of the recording
–
the programme number of the TV channel
–
the start and stop time of the recording
–
VPS/PDC on or off
–
the recording mode
This information is saved in a timer entry.
A timer recording will only start if you have switched
the DVD recorder system to standby or if you have
selected TUNER, CD, CDR or TAPE.
If you have selected DVD, MON,TV, SAT,VCR, GAME,
CAM1 or CAM2: Briefly before the start of the timer
recording, a message will be displayed on the DVD
recorder system reminding you to switch the set to

ontrol the TV station controls the start and the
duration of recordings.The DVD recorder system switches
itself on and off at the right time even if a TV programme
starts earlier or ends later than scheduled.
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS/PDC time.
However, if your TV magazine indicates a time that differs
from the programme’s start time (e.g. programme start
20.15 and VPS/PDC 20.14), you have to key in 20.14 as
start time.
You have to key in the start time exact to the minute.
If you want to key in a time that differs from the VPS/PDC
time, you have to switch off VPS/PDC.
Only one TV programme on a TV channel at a time can be
controlled using VPS/PDC. If you like to record two or
more TV programmes on a TV channel by using VPS/PDC,
you have to programme them separately.
