Use programmed recording to automatically start and stop a
recording at a later date.
To make a programmed recording, your video recorder needs
to know:
* 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 recording speed (SP/LP)
The video recorder stores all the information in a TIMER block.
You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks a month in advance.
’VPS’ (Video Programming System) and
’PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control)
With ’VPS and PDC’, the TV station controls the start time and
the length of the recording. This means that the video recorder
switches itself on and off at the
right time
even if a TV
programme you want to record begins earlier or finishes later
than expected.
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 to
the programme’s start time (for example, 20.15 and VPS 20.14),
you must enter ’20.14’ 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.
