VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery
Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are services
designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this
system, special code signals are transmitted together with the
audio/video signals. These code signals control your unit and have
precedence over the advertised times you may have preset into
the timer. This means that your unit will start and stop recording
when the preset TV programmes actually start and end^even if
the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed from
what has been advertised. PDC is currently available nationally on
BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except from a few small relay
transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC service in some areas. All
channels intend to offer this service in due course. Check your TV
programme listing guide for latest information. If the channel you
intend to record does not offer a PDC service your unit will not start
recording if PDC has been selected. Be sure to set PDC to AOFFB if
PDC is not available on your selected channel. (See step 6 on
page 48.).
NOTES:
● When you use Manual Timer Programming, set the start time
(VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A
different time than advertised will result in no recording.
● VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the [L-1 INPUT/
OUTPUT] connector.

● Turn on the TV and select an input mode such as EXT1.
