Notes

Video Programme System (VPS)

The Video Programme System (VPS) ensures that the TV programmes that you have programmed for timer recording will be recorded exactly from their beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start, or if the pro- gramme is extended beyond its scheduled time. Also, if a programme is interrupted, for example, if a news flash is inserted, the recording will also be interrupted auto- matically and resumed when the programme contin- ues.

The VPS signal is broadcast by the TV station and this controls the timer in the video recorder.

VPS should be set ON for all timer recordings from TV stations broadcasting these signals. It should be set OFF for all timer recordings from TV stations that are not broadcasting these signals.

***The similar system PDC, which is used in the time being in the Netherlands, can also be used with your new video recorder.

If you want to watch a DVD during timer recording, press TV/VCR on the remote control to select VCR mode.
