Note
Video Programme System (VPS)
The Video Programme System (VPS) ensures that the
TV programmes that you have programmed for timer
recording will be recorded exactly from their beginning
to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from
the scheduled time due to delayed start, or if the pro-
gramme is extended beyond its scheduled time. Also, if
a programme is interrupted, for example, if a news flash
is inserted, the recording will also be interrupted auto-
matically and resumed when the programme contin-
ues.
The VPS signal is broadcast by the TV station and this
controls the timer in the video recorder.
VPS should be set ON for all timer recordings from TV
stations broadcasting these signals. It should be set
OFF for all timer recordings from TV stations that are not
broadcasting these signals.
*** The similar system PDC, which is used in the time
being in the Netherlands, can also be used with your
new video recorder.
