VPS (Video ProgrammeSystem)/ PDC (ProgrammeDelivery 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’’.
