The video recorder will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time. With this video recorder, you can pre-programme up to six recordings within a period of one month. To make a programmed recording, your video recorder needs to know: * the date you want to make the recording * the programme number of the TV channel * the start and stop time of the recording This information is saved in a 'TIMER block'. What is 'VPS/PDC'?'VPS' (Video Programming System)/ 'PDC'(Programme Delivery Control) are used to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later, the video recorder will then turn on and off and the correct time. What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?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. Only one TV program of a TV channel can be controlled using 'VPS/PDC' at a time. If you want to record two or more TV programmes on a TV channel using 'VPS/PDC', you will need to programme these as two separate recordings. Programming a recording (with 'VIDEO Plus+') Thanks to this programming system, you no longer need to tediously enter the date, programme number, start and end time. All the information needed for programming is contained in the PlusCode-programming number. This 9-digit PlusCode number is found in every TV listings magazine. If required, select the programme number for the video recorder. This number is up to 9 digits long and can be found next to the start time of the TV programme in your TV listings magazine.
