HOW DO I PROGRAMME A TIMED
RECORDING ?
7
In the following chapter we will guide you through the different
possibilities of programming your video recorder, so that it will switch
itself on automatically, record the TV programme you have chosen
and then switch itself off automatically, all of this up to 1 month in
advance.
What information is needed by the video recorder?
For every timed recording you must give the video recorder the
following information:
•
the starting time of the recording
• the ending time of the recording
• the date on which the recording is to be made
• the programme number of the corresponding TV channel
Information necessary for timed recordings is stored in
a so-called TIMER block.
Your video recorder can store up to 8 different TIMER blocks.
What is VPS (Video Programme System) ?
With VPS the video recorder will be switched on and off by the TV
channel. This means that even if a TV programme from which you
wanted to make a timed recording starts either earlier or ends later
than scheduled, the video recorder will switch itself on and off at the
right moment.
Since this video recorder is equipped with VPS, you will be sure of
recording the whole programme on the cassette, even if the sche­
duled times are changed.
Not all TV channels transmit a VPS code.
If a TV channel transmits a regular VPS code, the symbol ‘VPS’ will
appear on the display, in addition to the programme number of the
TV channel.
The video recorder will remain in ‘VPS recording-standby’ for 28
hours. It waits for the broadcast signal from 00:00 (i.e. midnight) of
the programmed date to 04.00 o’clock of the following day to switch
itself on.
It is important to note the following:
The automatic time-switch (TIMER) will only switch the video
recorder on automatically if it is switched off at the moment the timed
recording has to start.
Always make sure that the video recorder is switched off before a
timed recording must start. If necessary press button (i).
How to programme the video recorder
You have a choice of 2 different kinds of timed recording:
• You can either enter the data which are necessary for the timed
recording directly into the video recorder or alternatively also with
the help of the buttons on the remote control.
We will refer to this possibility as ’Programming on the video­
recorder ’. •
• You can enter the data which are necessary for the timed recor­
ding into the remote control and finally transmit them to the video
recorder. We will refer to this possibility as ’Programming on the
remote control ’.
