You can record programmes with one of the following weekly/daily timer settings.

WEEKLY: Select to record a weekly programme.

MON–FRI: Select to record a daily programme from Monday through Friday.

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:

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.

How to check if the station being received transmits a VPS/

PDC signal

APress DVD so that the DVD lamp lights up on the unit.

BHold down DISPLAY for about 5 seconds. “VPS/PDC” appears blinking on the front display panel. If a VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, “VPS/PDC” will stop blinking. If no VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station, “VPS/PDC” will blink at a slower rate.

C Press DISPLAY again to return to normal display.
