VPS (Video Programme System)/ PDC (Programme Delivery Control)

The Video Programme System (VPS) or the Programme Delivery Control (PDC) is a very convenient system which assures that the TV programmes you have programmed for timer recording will be recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted and, for example, some special news is inserted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme continues.

Depending on the signals sent from the TV stations,

the VPS/PDC system may not operate properly even when “VPS/PDC” has been set to “ON”.

Please check with the broadcasters in your area for details.

≥In the case of VPS/PDC recording, use the correct time (VPS/PDC time) for recording the TV programmes.

Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when the recording time is not the correct time (VPS/PDC time).

VPS/PDC recording is not performed when the time (VPS/ PDC time) is incorrect, even if only by one minute. To find out the correct time (VPS/PDC time), consult Teletext, a newspaper or magazine, or other source.

≥If the actual broadcasting times of timer recordings overlap (regardless of whether they are VPS/PDC controlled), the recording that starts first always has priority, and the recording of the later beginning programme will start only after the first timer recording has finished.

≥When the VPS/PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or when a TV station does not transmit a regular VPS/PDC signal, the timer recording will be performed in the normal mode (without VPS/PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS/PDC.

In this case, even if the timer recording is performed, whatever has been programmed will not be cancelled at that particular time but at 4 a.m. on the following day.

≥The start times of scheduled programmes listed in the newspaper or magazine may be changed at a later date. Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when programming a programme whose start time has been subsequently changed. Particular care must be taken in this respect with ShowView programming since “VPS/PDC” is automatically set to “ON” in some countries.

≥If a programme listed in a newspaper or magazine has two ShowView numbers, use the ShowView number for VPS/ PDC if you wish to proceed with VPS/PDC recording using ShowView programming.

≥The default settings for “VPS/PDC” differ depending on the country concerned. Refer to the table on the right.

NICAM Broadcasting System (NV-FJ760EC/ECM/ECY Series)

NV-FJ760EC/ECM/ECY Series feature the NICAM digital sound system, a 2-channel sound broadcast system that provides either 2 high-quality stereo sound tracks or 2 independent mono sound tracks, M1 and M2.

NICAM programmes are always accompanied by standard (mono) sound broadcasts, and during playback, you can select the desired sound with the AUDIO button ?.

≥The NICAM stereo sound can only be recorded on the Hi-Fi audio tracks.

≥If, for some reason, you want to record a stereo, bilingual or NICAM TV programme intentionally in mono on the Hi-Fi audio tracks, set “Mono” to “ON” for the programme position on which the desired programme is broadcast, as described on page 47.

Important Note on the NICAM System

When NV-FJ760EC/ECM/ECY Series are switched on, the tuner automatically switches to a NICAM broadcast if NICAM is being transmitted. During test transmissions, it is possible that the sound received does not correspond to the picture being viewed. In order to receive synchronised sound and picture, select monaural sound with the AUDIO button ? or setting “Mono” to “ON”. This applies only until NICAM transmissions are fully operational.

Even if the sound track is in mono, the STEREO indication will appear.
