Alternate recording (DVD only)...
If there is no recordable disc in the unit, if the disc
does not have enough space to complete the
recording, or if the material is “copy-once” programme
and prohibited to be recorded on a DVD in the unit,
the unit will detect it and automatically record to the
HDD even when DVD is selected as the recording
media. If the available space on the HDD is less than
that of DVD, the unit will not perform the alternate
recording. This feature is available only for timer
recording. Not available for one-touch timer recording.
VPS (Video Programme System) /
PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
The Video Programme System (VPS) or Programme
Delivery Control (PDC) assures that the TV
programmes you have programmed for timer
recording are recorded exactly from beginning to end,
even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the
scheduled time due to a delayed start or extension of
the programme duration. Furthermore, if a
programme is interrupted, the recording will also be
interrupted automatically and resumed when the
programme starts again.
If the VPS/PDC signal drops out because the
broadcast signal is weak, or if a broadcasting station
does not transmit a regular VPS/PDC signal, the timer
recording is performed in normal mode (without VPS/
PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS/PDC. If the
starting time of the VPS/PDC timer recording is
between 0:00 and 3:59 on a given day, the VPS/PDC
function will operate from 20:00 on the previous day
to 4:00 on the next day. If the starting time of the VPS/
PDC timer recording is between 4:00 and 23:59 on a
given day, the VPS/PDC function will operate from
0:00 on the given day to 4:00 on the next day. This
means that if the relevant programme is broadcasted
within this period, it is recorded correctly. If the timer
is not programmed correctly, the incorrect timer
setting stays in effect unless you cancel it. To cancel
an incorrect timer setting, refer to “Checking,
Cancelling or Correcting the Timer Programming
Information” on this page.
