VPS/PDC
sets your video to adjust the start times of your timed recording. This happens even if a programme
starts earlier or later than advertised.
VPS/PDC works when the broadcaster sends a signal, but the signal is not always sent.
If you are not sure the signal will be sent, it is best to switch VPS/PDC off.
•
If there is
no programme number
displayed under ‘PR’ in the change menu, the video doesn’t yet
know the number for the programme you want. Type it in and this will be stored for later recordings.
•
If you wish to record from a
satellite receiver
, select under ‘PR’ the satellite programme or AV
(depending whether the video is connected with the antenna cable or the scart-cable). Leave the
satellite tuner switched on and set the programme you want to record.
•
The video will warn you if you have set the timer to start recording a second programme before the
first recording has finished.
•
To stop the recording after it has already started, press and hold the
STOP
button for about five
seconds until the video stops recording.
