VPS (Video Programme

System)/ PDC (Programme

Delivery Control)

The Video Programme System (VPS) or the Programme Delivery Control (PDC) is a very convenient system which assures that the TV programmes you have programmed for timer recording, will be recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcast- ing time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the pro- gramme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted and, for example, some special news is broadcast, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme continues.

When the VPS/PDC signal drop out because the broadcast signal is weak, or when a broadcasting station does not transmit a regu- lar VPS/PDC signal, the timer recording will be performed in the normal mode (without VPS/PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS/PDC.When the starting time of the VPS/PDC timer recording is from 0:00 to 3:59 on a given day, the VPS/PDC function operates from 20:00 on the previous day to 4:00 on the following day.When the starting time of the VPS/PDC timer recording is from 4:00 to 23:59 on the given day, the VPS/PDC function operates from 0:00 on the day to 4:00 on the following day.This means that if the relevant programme is broadcasted within this period, it will be recorded correctly. if in the timer is not programmed correctly, the incorrect timer setting stays in effect unless you cancel it.To cancel the incorrect timer setting, refer to “Checking or cancelling Timer Recording’’.
