Programmed recording (timer), Programming a recording (with ’video plus+’) – Philips VR9185 User Manual

Page 25

Use programmed recording to automatically start and stop a
recording at a later date.

To make a programmed recording, your video recorder needs
to know:

* the date you want to make the recording;
* the programme number for the TV channel you want to
record;
* the start and stop time of the recording;
* VPS/PDC on or off
* the recording speed (SP/LP)

The video recorder stores all the information in a TIMER block.
You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks a month in advance.

’VPS’ (Video Programming System) and
’PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control)

With ’VPS and PDC’, the TV station controls the start time and
the length of the recording. This means that the video recorder
switches itself on and off at the right time even if a TV
programme you want to record begins earlier or finishes later
than expected.
You must enter the start time exactly to the minute.
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS
or PDC time, you must switch off VPS or PDC.

Programming a recording
(with ’VIDEO Plus+’)

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

Switch on the TV set and select the programme number
for the video recorder.
