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 unit and have precedence over the advertised
times you may have preset into the timer. This means that
your unit 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 unit.
●
VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the L-1 IN/OUT
connector.
