About the PDC/VPS function

PDC/VPS signals are transmitted with TV programmes in some broadcast systems. These signals ensure that timer recordings are made regardless of any broadcast delays, early starts, or broadcast interruptions.

To use the PDC/VPS function

Set “PDC/VPS” to “On” in step 2 above.

When you turn on this function, the recorder starts scanning the channel before the timer recording starts. If you are watching TV when scanning starts, a message will appear on the TV screen. If you want to watch TV, switch to your TV’s tuner or turn off the PDC/VPS channel scan function. Note that if you turn off the PDC/VPS channel scan function, the timer recording will not start.

To turn off the PDC/VPS channel scan

Press TOOLS and select “PDC/VPS Scan Off.” To ensure that the PDC/VPS function works properly, turn off the recorder before the timer recording starts. This will automatically turn on the PDC/VPS channel scan function while the recorder remains off.

Rec Mode Adjust

If there is not enough available disc space for the recording, the recorder automatically adjusts the recording mode to enable the entire programme to be recorded. This function is normally set to “On.”
