Programming a recording (TIMER)

Programming a recording (TIMER)
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.
With this DVD recorder, you can pre-programme up to six 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
* the recording mode (“

This information is saved in a “TIMER block”.
General
Question
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.
What is “FR mode”?
FR mode is used when you want to record a certain length of program but you
don’t know how much room remaining on the recording disc. By using this mode,
this unit automatically selects the best suitable recording mode for the length of the
program. You cannot select FR mode, when you set the recording timer of Mo-Fr/
Weekly, and when you set PDC/VPS on. We strongly recommend that you do not
use this function combined with VPS/PDC. In such a condition this DVD recorder
may not perform the task properly.
