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
* ’VPS’ on or off
The video recorder 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 ’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 VPS time code. If,
however, in the TV guide, in addition to a TV programme’s
start time, a different VPS time is given, e.g.: ’20.15 (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 VPS time, you
have to switch off ’VPS’.
Programming with ’SHOWVIEW’
All the information required for programming is encoded in
the SHOWVIEW code.
1 Switch on the TV set.
2 Press the TIMER k
button on the remote control.
3 Please enter the SHOWVIEW code (up to 9 digits) printed
in your TV guide next to the start time of a TV pro-
gramme.
If you make a mistake, clear with the
CLEAR (CL) button.

or ’W-WEEKLY’ (weekly intervals) appears on the TV

recordings to be made from Mondays to Fridays inclu-
sive.
5 Confirm the entries with the OK button. The resultant
data appear on the TV screen.
Note: If you use SHOWVIEW for the first time for this TV
channel, the ’SELECT PROG’ line appears when you
confirm the SHOWVIEW code. Select and confirm the
programme number for the TV programme required.
* Switch ’VPS’ (V/P) on or off with the
SELECT button.
* If you wish to set a later end time for a recording,
press the
P q
button at step 5 . With each press of
the P q
button you add 15 minutes to the time.
* If e.g.: ’20:00’ appears in the display, please set the
clock.
6 Finally, press the OK button. Programming is now
complete.
The data has been stored in a TIMER block.

been loaded. Switch to standby with the

A programmed recording will function only when the
video recorder is switched to standby with the
STANDBY m
button.

recorder, SHOWVIEW aerial-code numbers will be al-
located automatically.
