Timer recording with VPS/PDC signals

Some broadcast systems transmit VPS (Video Programme System) or PDC (Programme Delivery Control) signals with their TV programmes. These signals ensure that your timer recordings are made regardless of broadcast delays, early starts, or broadcast interruptions (when the VPS or PDC indicator in the display window is lit).

In step 4 above, press M/m to turn on/off the VPS/PDC indication after you set the recording date. If you do not want to set the VPS/PDC function, turn off the VPS/ PDC indication.

You can also use the VPS/PDC function for a source connected to the LINE-1 (TV) and LINE-3 IN (Scart) connectors, or the LINE-2 IN jacks.

To use the VCR after setting the timer

To use the VCR before a timer recording begins, just press ?/1. The indicator turns off and the VCR switches on. Remember to press ?/1 to reset the VCR after using the VCR.

You can also do the following tasks while the VCR is recording:

•Reset the counter.

•Display tape information on the TV screen.

•Check the timer settings (see “Setting the timer manually” on page 49).

•Watch another TV programme.
