The DVD/ VCR will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time. With this DVD/ VCR, you can pre-programme up to eight recordings within a period of one year. To make a programmed recording, your DVD/ VCR 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 * VPS or PDC on or off This information is saved in a TIMER block. '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 than scheduled, the DVD/ VCR will turn on and off at the correct time. But if your TV guide shows a VPS or PDC time which is different from the programme's scheduled start time, e. g. 20. 10 (VPS/PDC 20. 14), you must enter the VPS/PDC time exact to the minute. If you want a start time different from the VPS/PDC time, you must switch VPS/PDC off. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Copying a video tape You can make copies of video cassettes made by friends or relatives for your own enjoyment.
