About the PDC/VPS function
PDC/VPS signals are transmitted with TV
programmes in some broadcast systems. These
signals ensure that timer recordings are made
regardless of any broadcast delays, early starts, or
broadcast interruptions.
◆
To use the PDC/VPS function
Set “PDC/VPS” to “On” in step 2 above.
When you turn on this function, the recorder starts
scanning the channel before the timer recording
starts. If you are watching TV when scanning
starts, a message will appear on the TV screen. If
you want to watch TV, switch to your TV’s tuner
or turn off the PDC/VPS channel scan function.
Note that if you turn off the PDC/VPS channel
scan function, the timer recording will not start.
◆
To turn off the PDC/VPS channel scan
Press TOOLS and select “PDC/VPS Scan Off.”
To ensure that the PDC/VPS function works
properly, turn off the recorder before the timer
recording starts. This will automatically turn on
the PDC/VPS channel scan function while the
recorder remains off.
Rec Mode Adjust

Adjust” and press ENTER. Select “Off” and
