Use programmed recording to automatically start and 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
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 the start 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
.
You must enter the start time
exactly to the minute
during
programming.
If you would like to programme a time that differs from the
VPS/PDC time, you must switch off ’VPS/PDC’.
