About the PDC/VPS function (available in

PDC/VPS signals are transmitted with TV
programmes in some broadcast systems.

made regardless of any broadcast delays,
early starts, or broadcast interruptions.

Set "PDC/VPS" to "On" in step 3 above.
When you turn on this function, the recorder
starts scanning the channels before the timer
recording starts. If you are watching TV
when scanning starts, a message will appear
on the TV screen. If you want to watch TV,

automatically turn on the PDC/VPS channel
scan function while the recorder remains off.
