the X station is assigned with a GCN (2), while it
is designated to channel 4 and 15 in region A and

VPS/PDC services are used to automatically check
the time information of TV programs being aired. If
the TV stations in your area carry the service, you
can switch on the PDC function when scheduling a
timer program on this DVD recorder. With the function
activated, the recorder will check whether the start
time of your preset program has been rescheduled,
and begin recording at the most updated time
accordingly.
