Cursor to “VPS/PDC”, press or to set it on or off.
What is “VPS/PDC”?
“VPS”(Video Programming System)/”PDC”(Programme Delivery Control) are used to control the start and duration of TV
channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than was scheduled, the DVDrecorder will then turn on
and off at the correct time.
What do I need to know about”VPS/PDC”?
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS or PDC time. If a different “VPS/PDC time” is indicated, e.g.:”
20.15 (VPS/PDC 20.14)”, the VPS/PDC time “20.14” must be entered exactly to the minute during grogramming.
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS or PDC time, you must switch off VPS or PDC.
Only one TV program of a TV channel can be controlled using “VPS/PDC” at a time. If you want to record two or more TV
programmes on a TV channel using “VPS/PDC”, you will need to programme these as two separaterecordings.
Since the DVD recorder requires a certain lead time (for getting the disc up to speed and positioning the laser) before
recording can start, it is possible that the recorder will miss the first few seconds of a TV show recorded with VPS/PDC.
In the case, disable VPS/PDC and enter a start time one minute earlier.
