Some programmes broadcast on certain channels
are transmitted using VPS (Video Programme
System) or PDC (Programme Delivery Control).
These signals precisely start or stop the recording
even when there is a delay in the programme
schedule. Your video recorder can recognise these
signals.

Functions available on VPS programmes only

Recording stopped by VPS
During the recording of a VPS programme, press key D.
The recording will stop when the programme is really over.

Recording started by VPS
Switch the video recorder to standby-record, then press the D key. When the next VPS
programme is broadcast, the video recorder activates recording.

VPS or PDC appears on the information screen and on the display when the programme
you are watching is transmitted in VPS or in PDC.
In this case, you can use the functions below.

The programming menu (pages 8, 9) proposes options in which you will find the VPS or PDC
line.
Select this option to start programming at the real start and finish times of the programme.
