General
Use 'Programming a recording (TIMER)', to automatically start and stop
a recording at a later date.
The DVD recorder will switch to the right programme number and
begin recording at the correct time.
On this DVD recorder you can pre-programme up to 12 recordings
within a period of one month.
To make a programmed recording, your DVD recorder 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'.
Before you begin, make sure the clock is set. If the clock is not set, the
'Time/Date' menu will appear when you press the TIMER s button.
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 was scheduled, the
DVD recorder will then turn on and off at the correct time.
What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?
- Usually the start time is the same as the VPS or PDC time. If a
different 'VPS/PDC time' is indicated, e.g.: '20.15 (VPS/PDC 20.14)',
the VPS/PDC time '20.14' must be entered exactly to the minute
during programming.
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS or PDC
time, you must switch off VPS or PDC.
- Only one TV program of a TV channel can be controlled using
'VPS/PDC' at a time. If you want to record two or more TV
programmes on a TV channel using 'VPS/PDC', you will need to
programme these as two separate recordings.
- Since the DVD recorder requires a certain lead time (for getting the
disc up to speed and positioning the laser) before recording can start, it
is possible that the recorder will miss the first few seconds of a TV
show recorded with VPS/PDC.
In this case, disable VPS/PDC and enter a start time one minute
earlier.
