RECORDING
_____________________________________________________
Four recording options:
Your video recorder provides you with four different options for
recording television programmes:
1
Immediate recording, in which you select the required sta-
tion on the video recorder and start recording immediately.
2
Delayed recording using ShowView numbers.
3
Delayed recording by entering the date, time and channel
of the programme you want to record if you do not know
the ShowView number.
4
Delayed recording by entering the data in the TIMER menu
of a Grundig television with the Megalogic function.
You can find information on using this option in the opera-
ting manual that came with your television set.
With recording options 2 and 3 you can set the video to
record up to six programmes as much as a year in advance,
or record programmes at the same time every day or week.
The Video Programming System
(VPS/PDC)
This system guarantees successful recording when you set the
VCR in advance to tape a broadcast.
Many television stations broadcast a supplementary signal
(VPS/PDC signal) which indicates the start and duration of
each individual television programme. When you are pro-
gramming the video recorder, it is therefore important to enter
the times when it is to switch on and off to the nearest minute.
If television programmes are changed or re-scheduled, then
special VPS/PDC times which must be entered instead of the
scheduled times are detailed in the television guides.
In the case of television stations which do not transmit a
VPS/PDC signal, recording depends solely on the times set for
the video recorder to switch on and off. This is regardless of
whether you confirm or delete the VPS/PDC signal when you
program the video recorder.
If you want to record several programs from different television
stations, you should decide which should take priority in the
case of overlaps due to re-scheduling.
