7. PROGRAMMED RECORDING (TIMER)

Use programmed recording to automatically startand stop a
recording at a later date.

To make a programmed recording, your TV-VIDEO Combi
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 recording speed (SP/LP).

The TV-VIDEO Combi stores all the information ina TIMER
block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks a monthin
advance.

’VPS’ (Video Programming System) and
’PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control)

With ’VPS and PDC’, the TV station controls thestart time and
the length of the recording. This means that the TV-VIDEO
Combi switches itself on and off at the righttime even if a TV
programme you want to record begins earlier or finisheslater
than expected.
Usually the start time is the same asthe 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 starttime.
If you want to programme a time that is differentfrom the VPS
or PDC time, you must switch off VPS orPDC.

Programming a recording (with ’VIDEOplus’)
