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

recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than  
scheduled, the DVD/VCR will turn on and off at the correct time.

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
