Use programmed recording to automatically start and stop a
recording at a later date.
To make a programmed recording, your video recorder needs
to know:
* the date you want to make the recording;
* the programme number for the TV channel you want to
record;
* the start and stop time of the recording;
* whether you want to use VPS or PDC
The video recorder stores all the information in a TIMER block.
You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks a month in advance.
’VPS’ (Video Programming System) and
’PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control)
With ’VPS and PDC’, the TV station controls the start time and
the length of the recording. This means that the video recorder
switches itself on and off at the right time even if a TV
programme you want to record begins earlier or finishes later
than expected.
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS or PDC time. But
if your TV guide gives a VPS or PDC time which is different to
the programme’s start time (for example, 20.15 and VPS 20.14),
you must enter ’20.14’ as the start time.
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS
or PDC time, you must switch off VPS or PDC.
Programming a recording
(with ’SHOWVIEW’)
All the important information needed for a programming is
contained in the SHOWVIEW-programming number.
a Switch on the TV set and select the programme number
for the video recorder.
b Press the TIMER button on the remote control.
c Enter the entire SHOWVIEW-number (up to 9 digits)
printed in your TV guide next to the start time of a TV
programme.

Enter 53124 for the SHOWVIEW-number.
If you make a mistake, you can clear your instructions
with the CLEAR(CL), y button.
