VPS Recording
Now available from some TV stations, VPS (Video Programme
System) is a 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 (VPS time) exactly as
advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised
will result in no recording.
●
VPS recording is not possible in areas where no TV station
transmits VPS signals.
●
VPS recording is also possible when a satellite tuner or a
cable system is connected to the AV2 IN connector on your
recorder.
●
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.
