General information

Use a TIMER programming to automatically start
and stop a recording at a later time or date. The
video recorder will switch to the right programme
number and begin recording at the correct time.
With this video recorder, you can pre-programme
up to eight recordings within a period of one
year. To make a programmed recording, your
video recorder needs to know:
* the date you want to make the recording
* the programme number of the TV channel
* the start and stop time of the recording

This information is saved in a 'TIMER' block.
