PDC/VPS Recording

(A237E, A437E only)

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 advertised times you preset in 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.
To Use PDC/VPS Service . . .
The default setting for PDC/VPS is "ON". To cancel PDC/VPS,
press NUMBER key "7" so that the PDC/VPS indicator ( ) on
the display panel disappears during ShowView or regular timer
programming.
NOTES:
When you manually enter programmes (regular timer
programming), set the start time (PDC or VPS time) exactly as
advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised
will result in no recording.
If you own the A237E, PDC/VPS recording is also possible
when a satellite tuner or a cable system is connected to AV2
IN on your recorder.
When PDC/VPS recording is performed, the Instant ReView
programme readout number may not match the actual number
of programmes that have been timer-recorded (
