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.

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