About ‘VPS/PDC’
‘VPS’ (Video Programming System) or ‘PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control) controls the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than was scheduled, the recorder will start/end the recording accordingly.
The VPS/PDC recording option can only be used to record an entire programme from its beginning to the end. To set a timer that is different from the VPS/PDC broadcast time, you must disable the VPS/PDC recording option.
