VPS/PDC Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals control your video recorder and have precedence over the advertised times you may have preset into the timer. This means that your recorder will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.

NOTES:

●When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.

●VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to AV2 (L-2) IN/ DECODER on your recorder.

●VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 (L-1) IN/ OUT connector.

BHold down START+ for about 5 seconds. “VPS/PDC” appears blinking on the TV screen.

If no VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, “VPS/ PDC” will blink at a slower rate.

CPress – –:– – or START+ again to return to normal display.

The TBC is particularly beneficial when playing back older tapes that may have degraded over time.

Another key characteristic of the JVC HR-J780EU and HR-J781EU is their ability to support long-play (LP) recording modes. This feature enables users to store more content on a single tape, doubling the recording capacity without a noticeable dip in quality. For regular viewers and home movie creators, this is an excellent advantage, allowing for longer viewing and recording sessions without the hassle of frequently changing tapes.

Both models are equipped with a comprehensive set of connectivity options, including SCART and composite outputs, making it easy to connect to various TVs and other playback devices. Additionally, the inclusion of an easy-to-navigate on-screen menu enhances user experience, allowing users to quickly access settings and functionalities.

Moreover, the JVC HR-J780EU and HR-J781EU boast built-in auto tracking features, which automatically adjust the tape heads to maintain optimal playback quality. The sleek design, combined with a remote control for convenience, makes these VCRs both aesthetically pleasing and practical.

In summary, the JVC HR-J780EU and HR-J781EU are finely crafted VCR models that showcase advanced recording technologies, user-friendly features, and excellent performance characteristics.
