Intelligent Timer Function
Many TV programmes are broadcast as a series, like
dramas or Soaps, on different days of the week. These are
often broadcast on the same channel and time each day.
The Intelligent Timer Function remembers the channel
number along with the start and end times of the last
8 programmes that you have recorded using timer recording
or S

By simply pressing the [I-TIMER] (15) the details of the last
8 timer recording programmes are displayed on the screen
with today or tomorrows date, (depending on whether the
time set has elapsed yet). The details of each of the
8 memorised recordings can be used or changed to set a
new timer recording.
Notes for using this function.
Details of up to 8 timer recordings are held in memory and
are used to repeat a previous recording of a TV programme
but on a new date and time. The Intelligent Timer Function
cannot be used until at least one timer recording or
