Programming:
1Perform steps 110. Enter "F-1" for the channel

NOTE:
You can programme this recorder to timer-record as many as 8

pg. 26).
Now available from some TV stations, VPS (Video
Programme System) is a 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.
NOTE:
When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start
time (VPS time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A
different time than advertised will result in no recording.
