VPS Recording

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 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.

NOTES:

When you manually enter programmes (regular 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.

VPS recording is not possible in areas where no TV station transmits VPS signals.

VPS recording is also possible when a satellite tuner or a cable system is connected to the AV2 IN connector on your recorder.

VPS recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT connector and the front panel connectors.
