Programming a Recording (TIMER)
General information
Use a TIMER programming to automatically start and stop a
recording at a later time or date.The DVD/ VCR will switch to
the right programme number and begin recording at the
correct time.With this unit, you can pre-programme up to 8
recordings within a period of one year.To make a programmed
recording,your DVD/ VCR needs to know:
* the date you want to make the recording
* the programme number of the TV channel
* the start and stop time of the recording
* VPS or PDC on or off
This information is saved in a TIMER block.
What is “VPS/PDC”?
“VPS” (Video Programming System)/ “PDC” (Programme Delivery
Control) are used to control the start and duration of TV channel
recordings.If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than
scheduled,the DVD/ VCR will turn on and off at the correct time.
What do I need to know about “VPS/PDC”?
Usually the VPS or PDC time is the same as the start time.But if
your TV guide shows a VPS or PDC time which is different from
the programme’s scheduled start time,e.g.20.10 (VPS/PDC
20.14),you must enter the VPS/PDC time exact to the minute. If
you want a start time different from the VPS/PDC time, you must
switch VPS/PDC off.
