Notes
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 programme
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
automatically and resumed when the programme
continues.
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.
