VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery
Control) and VPS (Video Programme 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 unit and have
precedence over the advertised times you may have preset into the
timer. This means that your unit 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.
●
When you use Manual 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 via the [L-1 INPUT/
OUTPUT] connector.
