Timer recording with VPS/PDC signals

The German broadcasting system transmits VPS (Video Programme System) signals or PDC (Programme Delivery Control) signals with the TV programmes. These signals assure you that your timer recordings are

made regardless of broadcast delays, early starts, or broadcastGB interruptions. For example, if an urgent news bulletin interrupts a regular programme, recording stops. As soon as the interrupted programme

resumes, recording starts again.

Notes on VPS/PDC recording

•If recording times overlap due to a VPS/PDC time shift, the programme that was broadcast first has priority. Recording of the second programme begins when the first programme has finished.

•If the video TV could not receive a VPS/PDC signal because it was too weak or because the station failed to transmit VPS/PDC signals, timer recording is made without the VPS/PDC function.

•(KV-14V5D, KV-21V5D only) If you use VPS/PDC recording while watching the TV, the programme automatically changes to the timer recording programme and you cannot change programmes. Make sure to use VPS/PDC recording only when the video TV is in standby mode. If you watch the TV continuously, cancel the VPS/PDC timer recording.

4Using the + ×or – Ãbuttons, select ON, then press OK.
