CA 2120255

Encoded video recorder/player (44, 370, 964, 991) timer (40) preprogramming information (10) listed in a television calen- dar (Figure 8) allows a timer preprogramming feature on a video cassette recorder VCR (44, 370, 964, 991) to be programmed us- ing a compressed code of as few as 1 to 8 digits which are decoded by a decoder (954) built into a television (48, 950) to convert the compressed code into channel, date, time and length information. The compressed code indications associated with each tele- vision program can be printed in a television program calendar in advance. The user would use the television remote (956) or con- trols on the television (48, 950) to enter the code that signifies the program to be recorded. When the codes are entered they are transmitted to the television (48, 950) and then decoded in the television (48, 950) and then the codes themselves and the CDTL information, which is the result of decoding the codes, could be displayed "on screen" so that the user can verify that the proper codes have been entered.
