About ‘VPS/PDC’
‘VPS’ (Video Programming System) or ‘PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control) is used to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than was scheduled, the recorder will then turn on and off at the correct time.
VPS/PDC is intended to record the entire programme. To set a timer that is longer/ shorter than the VPS/PDC broadcast time, you must switch off the VPS/PDC.
C Use the numeric keypad
To clear the programming number, press CLEAR on the remote control.
To cancel the programme, move to CANCEL in the menu and press OK.
TIPS: Ensure that there is sufficient space available on the recordable DVD or VHS tape before recording. You have to finalise the DVD±R before it can be playback on other players.
