Weekly/Daily Recording

You can record programmes with one of the following weekly/daily
timer settings.
For the HDD deck
When you select a mode other than ONCE, the space on the hard
disk drive is saved for new recordings by overwriting previous
recordings. To prevent loss of a needed recording, backup
programmes you wish to save by dubbing them to DVD discs
before overwriting previous recordings. Or save the title of weekly/
daily programmes to avoid overwriting of a previous week/day.
(Apg. 48)
ONCE (One Time Recording)
In this mode a programme will not be automatically overwritten.
WEEKLY (OVERWRITE) (Weekly Recording/Weekly Overwrite)
When the set weekly programme is broadcast, the programme
recorded last week is automatically deleted and overwritten by
the new programme. Save the title of each programme you
wish to save, then the recorded programme is saved and will
not be overwritten by the new programme.

MON-SUN (FOR A WEEK)/ MON-SAT (FOR A WEEK)/

MON-FRI (FOR A WEEK) (Daily Recording/Weekly Overwrite)
When the set weekly programme is broadcast, the programme
recorded on the same day last week is automatically deleted
and overwritten by the new programme. Save the title of each
programme you wish to save, then the recorded programme is
saved and will not be overwritten by the new programme.
MON-SUN (OVERWRITE)/ MON-SAT (OVERWRITE)/
MON-FRI (OVERWRITE) (Daily Recording/Daily Overwrite)
When the set daily programme is broadcast, yesterday’s

VPS/PDC Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery
Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are services
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 unit
and have precedence over the advertised times you may have
preset into the timer. This means that your unit 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:
●Make sure to press VPS/PDCj after completing timer
programming procedure to activate the VPS/PDC recording
function. The VPS/PDC recording indicator lights up on the front
display panel when VPS/PDC recording function is activated.
However, it will blink rapidly when VPS/PDCj is pressed under
the following conditions:
●Clock is not set.
●Timer programming has not been set.
●Disc is not loaded.
●HDD is full.
●When you use Manual 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 [L-2 IN/DECODER] connector on
your unit.
●VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the [L-1 IN/OUT]
connector.
●When timer recording via VPS/PDC recording is in progress, it is
not possible to switch between the HDD and DVD deck, and the
following menus cannot be displayed:
●Main Menu
●Library Database Navigation Menu
●Editing Menu
●If the unit is powered on when set to record a timer programme
onto HDD/DVD using VPS/PDC, the PDC information will not be
used. The programme will be recorded using the start and stop
times originally programmed.
How to check if the station being received transmits a VPS/
PDC signal
AHold down DISPLAY for about 5 seconds. AVPS/PDCB appears
and blinks on the front display panel. If a VPS/PDC signal is
detected from the station, AVPS/PDCB will stop blinking. If no
VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, AVPS/PDCB will
blink at a slower rate.
BPress DISPLAY again to return to normal display.
