Detailed Description of the VPS/PDC Function

VPS/PDC is a service provided by the public TV station. When you select a VPS/PDC-compatible TV station and activate the VPS/PDC function, the beginning and the end of the timer recording will be controlled by the TV station. Any program air time delays will be taken care of. The private TV companies have not provided this service yet. Thus, please turn OFF the VPS/PDC function when performing timer recordings of programs aired by private TV stations.

Example: Assume you want to record a sports event that is scheduled to be aired from 21:00 to 23:00 and perform your timer programming accordingly. However, the beginning of the sports event is postponed to 21:30 so that the program will now end at 24:00. Using the VPS/PDC function, you can still make sure that the entire TV program is recorded.

Recording with VPS/PDC function:

When you perform the timer programming be sure to observe the following points:

1.) Date and time should be correctly set.

The following points from 2 to 5 will be automatically taken care of by the ShowView feature. Therefore, be sure to keep them in mind when doing recordings without the ShowView feature.

2.) Set the starting time precisely to the minute according to the data in the TV program magazine (not a single minute earlier or later); otherwise an automatic recording will not be possible.

3.) If an additional 2nd time is specified in parentheses, which in most cases is explicitly stated as “VPS/PDC time”, make sure to enter only this time data.

4.) The starting time of the subsequent TV program is considered to be the end time of the recording.

5.) If you program the recording of several subsequent TV programs, enter the start and end times sepa- rately for each TV program. It is not sufficient to solely enter the start time of the first and the end time of the last program (in this case only the first program will be recorded unless the VPS/PDC function is turned off).

Please look up in your TV program magazine which TV stations transmit the VPS/PDC signal. A VPS/PDC on-screen indication (during auto search) does not mean that the respective TV station is actually VPS/PDC- compatible. Therefore, make sure to turn OFF the VPS/PDC function if you want to make timer recordings of programs aired by a station that is not VPS/PDC-compatible. Otherwise the TV program will not be recorded in its entirety.

It is preferable to deactivate the VPS/PDC function even for VPS/PDC-compatible TV stations — at least it simplifies the programming procedure — if you want to record several programs of the same TV station in direct sequence.

For instance: at 20:00, recording of the “Tagesschau” news program, subsequently, at 20:15, recording of a movie,

and subsequently, from 21:45 to 22:45, recording of a sports program.

Using the VPS/PDC function, enter the start and end times of each program separately; however, if the VPS/PDC function is turned OFF, it will be sufficient to enter the start time of 20:00 and the end time of 22:45.
