How to see the programme list
VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC
(Programme Delivery Control) and VPS (Video
Programmes System) are services designed to
assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this
system, special code signals are transmitted
together with the audio/video signals. These code
signals control your video recorder and have
precedence over the advertised times you may
have preset into the timer. This means that your
recorder will start and stop recording when the
preset TV programmes actually start and end –
even if the broadcast time of a preset TV
programme is changed.
NOTES:
• When you use Timer Programming, set the
start time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as
advertised in the TV listing. A different time
than advertised will result in no recording.
• VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a
satellite tuner or a cable system is connected
to AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER on your recorder.
• VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the
AV1 (L-1) IN/OUT connector.
How to check if the station being received
transmits a VPS/PDC signal
1
Press OK/STATUS or DISPLAY until the
channel position appears on the display panel.
2
Hold down SKIP SEARCH for about 5
seconds.
• “VPS/PDC” appears blinking on the display
panel. If a VPS/PDC signal is detected from
the station, “VPS/PDC” will stop blinking.
If no VPS/PDC signal is detected from the
station, “VPS/PDC” will blink at a slower
rate.
3
Press OK/STATUS, DISPLAY or SKIP
SEARCH again to return to normal display.
