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, 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.
NOTE:
When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start time (VPS
or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing.

signal (Excepting in Central and Eastern Europe)
A Press ––:–– until the channel position appears on the display
panel.

blink at a slower rate.
