Philips 21PV688/05 - Manual (Page 14)

The TV-VIDEO Combi 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/PDC on or off
The TV-VIDEO Combi 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.
’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
TV-VIDEO Combi 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 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/PDC time,
you must switch off ’VPS/PDC’.
Programming with ’VIDEOPlus+’
All the information required for a programming is contained
encoded in the VIDEOPlus+ code.
a Press the SV/V+ button on the remote control.
b Please enter the VIDEOPlus+ code (up to 9 digits) printed
in your TV guide next to the start time of a TV programme.
If you make a mistake, clear with the
CLEAR button.
