About 'VPS/PDC'
'VPS' (Video Programming System) or
'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control) is
used to control the start and end time of
TV channel recordings. If a TV
programme starts earlier or ends later
than was scheduled, the recorder will
then switch on and off at the correct
time.
VPS/PDC is intended to record the entire
programme. To set a timer that is longer/
shorter than the VPS/PDC broadcast
time, you must turn off the VPS/PDC.
TIPS: Ensure that there is enough space on the DVD±R/±RW before recording. Before you playback the DVD±R
on another player, fi nalise the disc. See "Playing your recordings (DVD±R) on other DVD players".
