Timer recording with VPS/PDC signals
Some broadcast systems transmit VPS (Video Programme System) or PDC
(Programme Delivery Control) signals with their TV programmes. These
signals ensure that your timer recordings are made regardless of broadcast
delay, early starts or broadcast interruptions.
To use the VPS/PDC function, set VPS/PDC to ON. You can also use the
VPS/PDC function for a source connected to the LINE-1 (TV) and LINE-2 IN
(Scart) connectors.
To record satellite broadcasts
If you connect the satellite tuner and the VCR, you can record satellite
programmes.
1 Turn on the satellite tuner.
2 On the satellite tuner, select the satellite programme for which you
want to make a timer setting.
3 Keep the satellite tuner turned on until the VCR finishes recording the
satellite programme for which you have made a timer setting.
To use the VCR after setting the timer
To use the VCR before a timer recording begins, just press ON/STANDBY.
The
indicator turns off and the VCR switches on. Remember to press
ON/STANDBY to reset the VCR after using the VCR.
You can also do the following tasks while the VCR is recording:
• Reset the counter.
• Display tape information on the TV screen.
• Check the timer settings.
• Watch another TV programme.
Tips
• To set the tape speed, you can also use the SP/LP button.
• When you are recording a programme in the SP mode and the remaining tape
becomes shorter than the recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed to
the LP mode. Note that some interference will appear on the picture at the point the
tape speed is changed. If you want to keep the same tape speed, set AUTO TAPE
SPEED to OFF in the TAPE OPTIONS menu (page 51).
