PDC/VPS 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 advertised times you preset in 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 manually enter programmes (regular timer
programming), set the start time (PDC or VPS time) exactly as
advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised
will result in no recording.
●
PDC/VPS recording is also possible when a satellite tuner or a
cable system is connected to the AV2 IN/DECODER
connector on your recorder.
●
PDC/VPS recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT
connector and the front panel connectors.
Timer Warning
If you have programmed your
recorder to timer-record a
programme or a series of
programmes, a warning appears on
screen to tell you that the record-
ing is to start in 5 minutes.
NOTES:
●
The warning only appears if
you’re not in the Timer mode at
that time.
●
If this recorder is being used as the player for tape dubbing,
the warning screen is recorded on the tape in the other video
recorder.
The warning blinks for the entire 5 minutes leading up to the
start of timer recording. To clear the display, press CANCEL.
