To make a programmed recording, your video recorder needs
to know:
•
the date you want to make the recording;
•
the programme number of the TV channel you want to record;
•
the start and stop time of the recording;
•
whether you want to use VPS or PDC (see below); and
•
the recording speed (SP or LP).
The video recorder stores all this information in a TIMER block.
You can programme up to six TIMER blocks a month in advance.
VPS (video programming system) and PDC
(programme delivery control)
With VPS and PDC, the TV station controls the start time and
length of the recording. This means that the video recorder
switches itself on and off at the right time, even if a TV
programme you want to record begins earlier or finishes later
than expected.
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS/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 start time.
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS
and PDC time, you must switch off VPS and PDC.
D
With most TV stations the VPS and PDC time are always
the same as the start time.
