What is “VPS/PDC”?
“VPS” (Video Programming System)/ “PDC” (Programme Delivery Control) are used to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than scheduled, the DVD/ VCR 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 exact to the minute. If you want a start time different from the VPS/PDC time, you must switch VPS/PDC off.
