descripton on the bottom to edit title name.
4. Cursor to “VPS/PDC”, press or to set it on or off.
What is “VPS/PDC”?
“VPS” (Video Programming System) / “PDC” (Programme Delivery Control) are used to control the start and
duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than was scheduled, the DVD
recorder will then turn on and off at the correct time.
What do I need to know about “VPS/PDC”?
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS or PDC time. If a different “VPS/PDC time” is indicated, e.g.:”
20.15 (VPS/PDC 20.14)”, the VPS/PDC time “20.14” must be entered exactly to the minute during programming.
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS or PDC time, you must switch off VPS or PDC.
Only one TV program of a TV channel can be controlled using “VPS/PDC” at a time. If you want to record two or
more TV programmes on a TV channel using “VPS/PDC”, you will need to programme these as two separate
recordings.
Since the DVD recorder requires a certain lead time (for getting the disc up to speed and positioning the laser )
before recording can start, it is possible that the recorder will miss the first few seconds of a TV show recorded
with VPS/PDC.
In this case, disable VPS/PDC and enter a start time one minute earlier.
5. Press SELECT to confirm and exit. Press TIMER to cancel it without saving.
