What is VPS (Video Programming System)?
With VPS, the TV station controls when the video
recorder is switched on and off. This means that the
video recorder switches on and off at the right time
even if a TV programme you have programmed begins
earlier or finishes later than expected.
Assuming, that is, that the TV station actually transmits
VPS.
Not all TV stations transmit a VPS signal.
You can see if a TV station is transmitting a VPS time
code by the indication 'VPS' that appears in the display
in the 'STOP' or 'PAUSE' mode.

Please pay close attention to the VPS information
alongside the individual TV programmes in your TV
guide. Usually the start time and the VPS time code are
the same. If, however, in the TV guide, in addition to a
TV programme's start time, a different VPS time code is
given, e.g.: '20.15 (VPS 20.14)', you have to enter '20.14'
as the start time when programming the VPS time code
and switch on VPS.
This is because a VPS recording will only function if
you set the VPS time code to the exact minute.
If you want to set a time which differs from the VPS
time code, you must switch off the VPS indication with
the LVPS.J button in the following section.
Note:
* VPS only functions faultlessly with good TV
reception. When reception is poor, some
programmed recordings with VPS may not function
correctly. This is not a fault in the video recorder.
