Troubleshooting
Timer recording
The VPS/PDC function
does not operate
properly.
• Check that the clock and the date are set correctly.
• Check that the VPS/PDC time you set is the correct one
(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.
• If the reception is poor, the VPS/PDC signal might be altered
and the VCR might not start recording.

go back to recording
standby mode.

priority and the second programme starts recording only
after the first programme has finished.
