protected, you can seal the gap again with adhesive tape

How to programme a recording
The video recorder needs the following information for every
programmed recording:
* the date on which the recording is to be made
* the programme number for the TV channel
* the start and stop time of the recording
The video recorder stores all the information mentioned
above in what is known as a TIMER block. You can
programme up to 6 TIMER blocks, one month in advance.
