Timer recording using ShowView
• VPS/PDC is a service provided by some stations to enable you to perform timer recordings
precisely even if the broadcaster delays the start time of the programme slightly. The time you
enter is the VPS/PDC time so must be correct. Not all stations offer VPS/PDC, in which case the
player will start at the time you enter and not the actual start time of the programme.
If you wish to start recording at a specific time without it being adjusted by the VPS/PDC
system in the event of a delay, switch VPS/PDC off otherwise the player will not record.
• If you don’t have the ShowView numbers see next page for the normal timer.
• If you have made a mistake, move back to the relevant position with the [
œ
œ
] button and change
the setting.
• If there is no programme location displayed under “PR” in the change menu, the player doesn’t
yet know the location number for the programme you want. Type it in and this will be stored
for last recordings.
• If you wish to record from a satellite receiver, select under “PR” the satellite programme
location or AV (1/2) (depending on the connection with the antenna cable or the SCART-cable).
Leave the satellite tuner switched on and to the programme you want.
• Should programming overlap, you get a warning.
• To cancel the recording press the
button (stop) more than 5 seconds.
