The Video Program System (VPS) or the Program Delivery Control (PDC) is a very convenient system sent
by the broadcaster to ensure that the TV programs you have programmed for timer recording, will be
recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time
due to delayed start or extension of the program duration. Also, if a program is interrupted and, for example,
some special news are inserted, the recording can also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the
program continues.
Example:
To record the Movie from 19:00 to 21:00.
Actual Broadcasting Time
(Soccer Game ends 30 minutes later)
The Movie is delayed until 19:30.

NOTE
When the VPS/PDC signal disappears because the broadcast signal is weak, or when a broadcasting
station does not transmit a regular VPS/PDC signal, the timer recording will be performed in the normal
mode (without VPS/PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS/PDC.
If a deviating VPS/PDC time is stated, i.e 20.15 (VPS/PDC 20.14), the VPS/PDC time 20.14 has to be
entered to the minute. If one does not enter the exact VPS/PDC time, then VPS/PDC must be switched off.
Otherwise the recording will not take place.
