Pioneer VR805/07 VCR User Manual


 
The video recorder needs the following information for every
programmed recording:
* the date on which the recording is to be made
* the programme number for the TV channel
* the start and stop time of the recording
* VPS/PDC on or off
* the recording speed (SP/LP)
The video recorder stores all the information mentioned above
in a TIMER block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks,
one month in advance.
’VPS’ (Video Programming System)/
’PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control)
With ’VPS/PDC’, the TV station controls the beginning and the
length of the programmed recording. This means that the
video recorder switches itself on and off at the right time even
if a TV programme you have programmed begins earlier or
finishes later than expected.
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS/PDC time. If,
however, in the TV guide, in addition to a TV programme’s start
time, a different VPS/PDC time is given, e.g.: ’20.15 (VPS 20.14)’,
you must enter ’20.14’ as the start time exactly to the minute.
If you want to enter a time that differs from the VPS/PDC time,
you must switch off ’VPS/PDC’.
DWith most TV stations the VPS/PDC time is always the
same as the start time.
