Timer programming
The DVD recorder needs the following information for
every programmed recording:
- the date on which the recording is to be made;
- the channel;
- the start and stop time of the recording;
- VPS/PDC on or off;
- the recording mode (HQ, SP, LP or EP).
The DVD recorder stores all the information mentioned
above in a timer block. You can programme up to six
timer blocks, one month in advance.
When you have programmed the timer, a red line on
the disc bar (both on the display and on the Index
Picture Screen) indicates what part of the disc will be
overwritten by the programmed recording from the
current disc position (on DVD+RW) or after the last
title (on DVD+R).
When all timer blocks are full, the options timer
programming and VIDEO Plus+ programming cannot be
accessed. For clearing a timer block, see ‘How to clear a
timer block’.
Timer programming with the VIDEO

A PlusCode number is a number of up to nine digits,
printed in most TV guides next to the start time of a TV
programme.
All the information required for a programming is

What is ’VPS’/‘PDC’?
With ’VPS/PDC’, the TV station controls the
beginning and the length of the programmed
recording. This means that the video recorder
switches itself on and off at the right time even if a
TV programme you have programmed begins earlier
or finishes later than expected.
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS/PDC
time. If, however, in the TV guide, in addition to a TV
programmes start time, a different VPS/PDC time is
given, e.g.: ’20.15 (VPS 20.14)’, you must enter ’20.14’
as the start time exactly to the minute. If you want
to enter a time that differs from the VPS/PDC time,
you must switch off ’VPS/PDC’.
