VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme
Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are
service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording.
With this system, special code signals are transmitted
together with the audio/video signals. These code signals
control your video recorder and have precedence over the
advertised times you may have preset into the timer. This
means that your recorder will start and stop recording when
the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if
the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.
NOTES:
● When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start
time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV
listing. A different time than advertised will result in no
recording.
● VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite
receiver or a cable system is connected to L-2 IN/
DECODER connector on your recorder.
● VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the L-1 IN/OUT
connector.
How to check if the station being received transmits a
VPS/PDC signal (VHS deck only)
A
Press ––:–– until the channel position appears on the
front display panel.
B
Hold down for about 5 seconds.
“VPS/PDC” appears blinking on the front display panel.
If a VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station,
“VPS/PDC” will stop blinking.
If no VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station,
“VPS/PDC” will blink at a slower rate.
C
Press ––:–– or again to return to normal display.
