This function automatically starts recording on the switched-off  
DVD/VCR when a video signal is recognised through the con-  
nected scart cable. If your satellite receiver has a programming  
function, the recording will start automatically (as long as the  
satellite receiver is switched on).  
Use a scart cable to connect scart socket AV2(DECODER) on  
the DVD/VCR to the corresponding scart socket on the satel-  
lite receiver.  
Switch on the TV. If required, select the programme number for  
the DVD/VCR.  
Use 'Manual Recording' to make a spontaneous recording  
(for example, a programme currently being shown).  
If you want to start and stop a recording manually, read the  
section 'Recording without automatic switch-off'.  
Read the section 'DIRECT RECORD' if you want to record  
a programme currently being shown.

Programming a Recording (TIMER)  
General information  
Direct dubbing  
Use a TIMER programming to automatically start and stop a  
recording at a later time or date.The DVD/VCR will switch to  
the right programme number and begin recording at the cor-  
rect time.With this DVD/VCR, you can pre-programme up to  
eight recordings within a period of one year.To make a pro-  
grammed 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.  
Follow the steps below to copy a DVD or video disc to a  
videotape.This will be possible only if the DVD is not copy  
protected.

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 than  
scheduled, the DVD/VCR will turn on and off at the correct time.  
What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?  
7
Press PAUSE k.  
To resume recording.  
Usually theVPS or PDC time is the same as the start time. But if  
your TV guide shows aVPS or PDC time which is different from  
the programme’s scheduled start time, e.g. 20.10 (VPS/PDC  
20.14), you must enter theVPS/PDC time exact to the minute. If  
you want a start time different from theVPS/PDC time, you must  
switchVPS/PDC off.  
Press PAUSE k again.
