4. AUTOMATIC (PROGRAMMED) 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/PDConoroff
*the recording speed (SP/LP)
The video recorder stores all the information mentioned above
in a TIMER block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks,
one month in advance.
'VPS' (Video Programming System)/
'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control)
With 'VPS/PDC', 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/PDC time. If,
however, in the TV guide, in addition to a TV programme's
start time, a different VPS/PDC time is given, e.g.: '20.15 (VPS
20.14)', you must enter '20.14' as the start time exactly to the
minute.
If you want to enter a time that differs from the VPS/PDC time,
you must switch off'VPS/PDC'.
With most TV stations the VPS/PDC time is always the
same as the start time.

All the information required for a programming is contained
encoded in the PlusCode.
