7. PROGRAMMED RECORDING (TIMER)

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

The TV-Video Combi requires the following information for each programmed recording:

* 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 * VPS/PDC on or off

The TV-Video Combi stores all above mentioned information in a so-called TIMER-Block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks a whole month in advance.

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

With ’VPS/PDC’, the TV station controls thestart time and the length of the programmed recording. If a TV programme begins earlier or ends later than planned, the TV-Video Combi switches on and off at the right time. Usually the start time is the same asthe VPS/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 would like to programme a time that differsfrom the VPS/PDC time, you must switch off ’VPS/PDC’.

DIf you would like to use ’VPS/PDC’ to programme the

recording and an additional start time is indicated, e.g.: (VPS/PDC21.09), you must enterthe ShowView number for the ’VPS/PDC’ time. e.g.: (VPS/PDC21.09) 405-564-898 Enter 405564898 for programmingusing ’VPS/PDC’.
