This recorder is compatible with VPS (Video
Programming System) and PDC (Program Delivery
Control) systems used by many TV stations to ensure that
a timer recording catches the whole program even when
the program is not running to schedule. Up to eight timer
programs can be set with VPS/PDC on.
Important
•A timer recording can’t be set if there are already 32
timer programs waiting to be recorded.
• Timer recording will not start if:
– The recorder is already recording.
– A disc is being initialized, finalized or unfinalized.
• Timer recording will start when the operation
preventing timer recording has finished.
• If a recordable DVD that doesn’t support
simultaneous playback and recording (see
Simultaneous recording and playback
on page 66) is
playing when a DVD timer recording is due to start,
playback will automatically stop to allow the
recording to start.
• The timer indicator ( ) lights in the front panel
display when the timer is active. If the indicator is
blinking it means that (for a DVD timer recording)
there is no disc loaded, or the disc loaded is not
recordable (for an HDD timer recording it means that
the HDD is not recordable).
• Approximately two minutes before a timer recording
is set to start, the recorder will go into timer recording
standby. In timer recording standby you cannot use
some functions.
• The maximum length for timer recordings made to
the HDD is 24 hours. However, because one title is
limited to eight hours, recordings over eight hours
will be spread over two or more titles. Note that there
will be a break in the recording of a few seconds
between titles.
• VPS/PDC may not work with all broadcast stations in
your country/area. Check with the stations for
compatibility.
• The hours between 3:00 and 5:00 in the morning are
used by GUIDE Plus+ to download program
information. During these times, VPS/PDC may not
work reliably; leave VPS/PDC off if you set a timer
recording for these times.
