About the VPS/PDC function
VPS/PDC 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 VPS/PDC function
Set “VPS/PDC” to “On” in step 3 above.
When you turn on this function, the recorder
starts scanning the channels before the timer
recording starts.
Rec. Mode Adjust
If there is not enough available disc space for
the recording, the recorder automatically
adjusts the recording mode to enable the
entire programme to be recorded. Set “Rec.
Mode Adjust” to “On” in the “Recording”
setup (page 86).

recording

Settings (Timer List)” on page 48.

the timer recording. If not, the timer recording
cannot be made.
• To record a satellite programme, turn on the

weekly programme, the timer recording cannot be
made if it overlaps with a programme that has
priority. “Overlap” will appear next to the
overlapped setting in the Timer List. Check the
priority order of the settings (page 48).
• Even if the timer is set, timer recordings cannot be
made while recording a programme that has
priority.
• The “Rec. Mode Adjust” function only works
with a timer recording and the VPS/PDC function
set to off. It does not function with Quick Timer
or Synchro Rec.
• The beginning of some recordings may not be
made when using the VPS/PDC function.
• You cannot extend the recording duration time
when “VPS/PDC” is set to “On.”
