About the VPS/PDC function (For analogue
broadcasting only)
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.
