7. Programming a recording (TIMER)

General information

Use a TIMER programming to automatically start and stop a recording at a later time or date.The TV-Video Combi will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time.With this TV-Video Combi, you can pre-programme up to eight recordings within a period of one year.To make a programmed recording, your TV-Video Combi 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 [14PV225] This information is saved in a TIMER block.

[14PV225] 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 TV-Video Combi 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.
