9 Timer recording
Your device has the timer functions (timer type) listed below:
1. DVR Timer
Use this function to switch your digital receiver on and off, to record the selected
programme onto the selected recording medium while you are out as per Section
13.4.1 in your instruction manual. If the receiver is switched on by the DVR timer,
this will be indicated on the display. Some menu items are blocked and therefore
cannot be called up or edited.
2. Video Recorder Timer
This function is used to switch your digital receiver on and off to record the
selected programme onto the connected video recorder while you are out.
Please note that, to record programmes, an external video recorder must
also be programmed accordingly. To do so, follow the instructions in the
recorder instruction manual.
3. Channel Change Timer
If your receiver is in normal operating mode, it will switch to the programmed
channel slot at the set time.
In contrast to using the video recorder timer option, the device remains fully
functional and will not be switched off at the end of the programme.
4. Alarm Timer
If your receiver is in standby mode, it is switched on to the programmed channel
slot when the set time is reached.
In contrast to using the video recorder timer option, the device remains fully
functional and will not be switched off.
5. Series Timer
To make it easier to find programmes, you can search for programme data
highlighted in the EPG using any terms. The Series Timer function is used
automatically to generate ongoing DVR timer settings for the programmes you
find. The timer settings are also retained after the EPG data has been updated.
This removes the need for repeated manual programming of timers, e.g. to record
episodes in a TV series.
In order to ensure that DVR timers are only automatically generated for the
programmes you want, you must apply the settings with as much detail as
possible. Otherwise the number of generated timers can become very high.
With automatic DVR timer generation, there could be overlaps with other
timers with the possible result that not all timers are executed.
