The menu items On time and Off time
are not available in a 2 ** menu.

17.1 Setting the Time and DateOpening the menu
Normally, the TV set will determine the current
date and time from the Teletext signals of the cur-
rently selected station (providing this station sends
Teletext).
If this is not the case, or if an incorrect date or
time is displayed, you can set the date and time
manually.
In almost all cases, you will not need to do this.
Even the changeover between winter time and
summer time is executed automatically.
Setting the time and date manually:
• Press the MENU key to open the TV menu.
• Press the green key  to open the
Timer menu.
• Press the numeric key 
to select
Time settings.
• Press the OK key and then, in the
setting window, enter the current time
with the numeric keys.
• You can then start the internal clock
precisely by pressing the OK key
when the time you have entered is
reached.
• Press the numeric key 
!to select 
Current date.
• In the setting window, enter the date with the
numeric keys.
• Press the OK key to save the settings.
• Press the EXIT key to close the TV menu.
The local time offset is the difference between
the local time where the TV set is installed and
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The TV set nor-
mally detects this time offset and also the addi-
tional changeover to summer time.
The time needs to be set manually only if it is
not detected automatically.

17.2 Recording control
Application example:
You wish to record a programme received via
DVB-T. The programme starts at 22:45 hours,
ends at 23:40 hours and is broadcast on ITV.
Set up a manual timer as described in Section
18, Special Functions 2, Timer Overview or set
a timer with the aid of the EPG as described in
Section 22.3 “Using EPG, Recording a Program-
me. The timer recording does not use VPS.
Set the lead time to 3 minutes and the overrun
time to 10 minutes.
At the programmed start time minus the pro-
grammed lead time of three minutes, the TV set is
either:
- switched on from the standby state (red LED
lights) with the programme position for ITV selec-
ted, whereby the screen remains dark but the
programme is sent via the EURO socket to your
recorder, or
- switched to the programme position for ITV if it is
already switched on.
At the programmed end of the recording (at
23:40 hours) the programme position for ITV
remains selected for the programmed overrun time
of 10 minutes.
It is not possible to switch to another pro-
gramme position during the programmed
lead and overrun times.
