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
Select “VPS / PDC” in step 7 above.
When you turn on this function, the recorder starts
scanning the channels 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 temporarily turn off PDC/VPS channel scan
Press OPTIONS 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.

When the timer settings overlap
The programme that starts first has priority and the
second programme starts recording only after the
first programme has finished.
When the recordings start at the same time
The programme that is set last has priority. In this
example, timer setting B is set after A, so the first
part of timer setting A will not be recorded.
When the end time of one recording and the
start time of another are the same
After finishing the previous recording, the other
recording may be delayed.
b Note
When “PDC/VPS” is set to “On” for one or more timer
recordings, the start times may change in the event of a
broadcast delay or early start.
