HOW DO | PROGRAMME A RECORDING? 26 © In this chapter you will learn how to programme your video recorder. It switches itself on automatically, records the TV programme you want and then automatically switches itself off again. What information does the video recorder need? You must give the video recorder the following information for every programmed recording you want to make: * the date on which the recording is to be made * the programme number for the TV channel * the start time of the recording * the stop time of the recording * VPS on or off The video recorder stores all the information it needs for recording in what is known as a TIMER block. And you can set this up to one month in advance. Your video recorder can store up to 6 of these TIMER blocks. Please note that the timing of the TIMER blocks must not overlap. The video recorder must first finish one TIMER block before starting the next block. What is VPS (Video Programming System)? With VPS, the TV station controls when the video recorder is switched on and off. This means that the video recorder switches on and off at the right time even if a TV programme you have programmed begins earlier or finishes later than expected. eo о —l © = Lu Assuming, that is, that the TV station actually transmits ¡17 4 £ IE ICO VPS VPS LU O1 Y EI IL Ll A Not all TV stations transmit a VPS signal. You can see if a TV station Is transmitting a VPS time code by the indication "VPS" that appears in the display in the ‘STOP’ or PAUSE” mode. Please pay close attention to the VPS information alongside the individual TV programmes in your TV guide. Usually the start time and the VPS time code are the same. If, however, in the TV guide, in addition to a TV programme’s start time, a different VPS time code is given, e.g.: ‘20.15 (VPS 20.14), you have to enter "20.14" as the start time when programming the VPS time code and switch on VPS. This is because a VPS recording will only function if you set the VPS time code to the exact minute. If you want to set a time which differs from the VPS time code, you must switch off the VPS indication with the button in the following section. Note: * VPS only functions faultlessly with good TV reception. When reception is poor, some programmed recordings with VPS may not function correctly. This is not a fault in the video recorder. 27 © SO EN O) Show View os 11) 2) IT DO oc 7) 3) A. T/W LOSCHEN L_ 1} dl a.
