Programming A Recording (Timer) - Philips 14PV101 User Manual

7. Programming a recording (TIMER)

General information
Use a TIMER programming to automatically start
and stop a recording at a later time or date. The
TV-Video Combi will switch to the right pro-
gramme number and begin recording at the cor-
rect time. With this TV-Video Combi, you can
pre-programme up to eight recordings within a
period of one year. To make a programmed
recording, your TV-Video Combi needs to know:
*the date you want to make the recording
*the programme number of the TV channel
*the start and stop time of the recording
*VPS or PDC on or off [14PV225]
This information is saved in a TIMER block.
[14PV225]
What is 'VPS/PDC'?
'VPS' (Video Programming System)/ 'PDC'
(Programme Delivery Control) are used to con-
trol the start and duration of TV channel record-
ings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends
later than scheduled, the TV-Video Combi will
turn on and off at the correct time.
What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?
Usually the VPS or PDC time is the same as
the start time. But if your TV guide shows a
VPS or PDC time which is different from the
programme's scheduled start time, e.g. 20.10
(VPS/PDC 20.14), you must enter the VPS/PDC
time exact to the minute. If you want a start time
different from the VPS/PDC time, you must
switch VPS/PDC off.
