Satellite Tuner Users

To timer-record a satellite broadcast using Express Timer Programming:

1Set "AV2 SELECT" to "AV2" (pg. 31).

2Perform steps 1 10. Enter "L-2" for the channel position in step 6.

3Set the satellite tuner to the appropriate channel before the selected programme begins.

4Leave the satellite tuner's power on.

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 tuner or a cable system is connected to AV2 IN/DECODER on your recorder.

VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT connector.

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

1Press –:–until the channel position appears on the display panel.

2Hold down START+ for about 5 seconds.

"VPS/PDC" appears blinking on the 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.

3Press –:–or START+ again to return to normal display.

NOTE:

You can programme this recorder to timer-record as many as 8 programmes. If you try to programme the recorder to record a ninth, "PROGRAM FULL" appears on screen and "FULL" appears on the front display panel. To record the extra programme, you must first cancel any unnecessary programmes (pg. 26).
