Troubleshooting
Timer recording

does not appear.

The VPS/PDC function
does not operate
properly.
• Check that the clock and the date are set correctly.

(there might be a mistake in the TV programme guide). If
the broadcast you wanted to record did not send the good
VPS/PDC information, the VCR will not start recording.
