VPS (Video Programme System)/PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
VPS or PDC is a very convenient system which records exactly from
beginning to end of the TV programmes set in timer recording, even
if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to
delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Also, if a
programme is interrupted, for example, some special news is
inserted, the recording will be paused automatically and resumed
when the programme continues.
Depending on the signals sent from the TV stations, the VPS/PDC
system may not work properly even when “VPS/PDC” has been set
to “ON”.
Please check with the broadcasters in your area for details.
≥
In the case of VPS/PDC recording, use the correct time (VPS/PDC
time) for recording the TV programmes.
Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when the recording time is not the correct
time (VPS/PDC time).
VPS/PDC recording is not performed when the time (VPS/PDC
time) is incorrect, even if only by one minute. To find out the correct
time (VPS/PDC time), consult Teletext, a newspaper or magazine,
or other source.
≥
If the actual broadcasting times of timer recordings overlap
(regardless of whether they are VPS/PDC controlled), the
recording that starts first always has priority, and the recording of
the later programme will start only after the first timer recording has
finished.
≥
When the VPS/PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal
is weak, or when a TV station does not transmit a regular VPS/
PDC signal, the timer recording will be performed in the normal
mode (without VPS/PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS/PDC.
In this case, even if the timer recording is performed, whatever has
been programmed will not be cancelled at that particular time but
at 4 a.m. two days later.
≥
The start times of scheduled programmes listed in the newspaper
or magazine may be changed at a later date. Set “VPS/PDC” to
“OFF” when programming a programme whose start time has
been subsequently changed. Particular care must be taken in this
respect with S
HOW
V
IEW
programming since “VPS/PDC” is
automatically set to “ON” in some countries (
➡
below).
≥
If a programme listed in a newspaper or magazine has two
S
HOW
V
IEW
numbers, use the S
HOW
V
IEW
number for VPS/PDC if
you wish to proceed with VPS/PDC recording using S
HOW
V
IEW
programming.
≥
The default settings for “VPS/PDC” differ depending on the country
concerned. Refer to the following table.
≥
If the broadcasting station is not transmitting VPS/PDC signals, “
jjj
” appears in the menu for timer programming under “VPS/PDC”.
≥
The beginnings of recordings may not be recorded correctly in some cases.
