• VPS/PDC is a signal broadcast by some TV stations which adjusts the start and stop time
of your VCR recording. This ensures that if there is a change in broadcast time for your
programme the VCR will still record the whole programme. It is essential that the start
time as it appears in the TV listing is used to program the VCR, as this information is used
to identify the VPS/PDC signal corresponding to your programme.
• If the symbol flashes a video tape has not been inserted into the VCR.
• During recording, press the
STOP button to cancel the recording. If there are
further recordings to be made, the VCR will return to Timer Standby.
