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
delay, early starts or broadcast interruptions.
To use the VPS/PDC function, set VPS/PDC to ON. You can also use the
VPS/PDC function for a source connected to the LINE-1 (TV) and LINE-2 IN
(Scart) connectors.

Tips
• To set the tape speed, you can also use the SP/LP button.
• When you are recording a programme in the SP mode and the remaining tape

the LP mode. Note that some interference will appear on the picture at the point the
tape speed is changed. If you want to keep the same tape speed, set AUTO TAPE
SPEED to OFF in the TAPE OPTIONS menu (page 51).
