Timer recording with VPS/PDC signals
Some broadcast systems transmit VPS (Video Programme System) or PDC
(Programme Delivery Control) signals with their TV programmes. These
signals ensure that your timer recordings are made regardless of broadcast
delays, early starts, or broadcast interruptions.

use the VPS/PDC function for a source connected to the input connector.
To use the Auto Tape Speed function
to select AUTO. When you are recording a
programme in the SP mode and the remaining tape length becomes shorter
than the recording time, the recording tape speed is automatically changed to
the LP mode. Note that some noise will appear on the picture when the tape
speed is changed. To operate this function correctly, the “TAPE SELECT”
setting in the USER SET menu must be accurate. (page 44)
