How to programme a recording
The video recorder needs the following information for every
programmed recording:
* the date on which the recording is to be made
* the programme number for the TV channel
* the start and stop time of the recording
* ’PDC’ or ’VPS’ on or off
The set stores all the information mentioned above in what is
known as a TIMER block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER
blocks, one month in advance.
With ’PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control) or ’VPS’ (Video
Programming System), 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 PDC or VPS time. If,
however, in the TV guide, in addition to a TV programme’s
start time, a different PDC or VPS time is given, e.g.: ’20.15
(PDC or VPS 20.14)’, you have to enter ’20.14’ as the start time
exactly to the minute.
If you want to enter a time that differs from the PDC or VPS
time, you have to switch off ’PDC’ or ’VPS’.
Programming with ’VIDEOPlus+’
All the information required for a programming is contained
encoded in the VIDEOPlus code.
1 Switch on the TV set.
2 Press the TIMER k button on the remote control.
3 Please enter the VIDEOPlus code (up to 9 digits) printed

the P q button you add 15 minutes to the time.
* If e.g.: ’20:00’ appears in the display, please set the
clock.

complete.
The data has been stored in a TIMER block.
