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'.
