VPS/PDC
Triggers all your programming at the actual broadcast times (if the channel broadcasts VPS/PDC signals).

Leave this function active to benefit from its benefits for all your programming. If the channel does not broadcast VPS or PDC signasl, your DVD recorder will record at the start and stop times selected during the programming of the recording (page 30).
