What is ‘VPS/PDC’?
‘VPS’(Video Programming System)/ ‘PDC’
(Programme Delivery Control) are used to con-
trol the start and duration of TV channel record-
ings.If a TV programme starts earlier or ends
later than scheduled, the video recorder will
turn on and off at the correct time.
What do I need to know about ‘VPS/PDC’?
Usually the VPS or PDC time is the same as
the start time.But if your TV guide shows a
VPS or PDC time which is different from the
programme’s scheduled start time, e.g.20.10
(VPS/PDC 20.14), you must enter the VPS/PDC
time exactly to the minute.If you want a start
time different from the VPS/PDC time, you must
switch VPS/PDC off.
