VPS/PDC function

VPS (Video Programme System) or PDC (Programme Delivery Control) is a very convenient system which records exactly from beginning to end
of the TV programmes set in timer recording, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or extension
of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted, for example, some special news is inserted, the recording will be paused
automatically and resumed when the programme continues.
When VPS/PDC recording
When the VPS/PDC signal drops out
because the broadcast signal is weak.
When a TV station does not transmit a
regular VPS/PDC signal.
If the start times of scheduled
programmes listed in the newspaper or
magazine change at a later date.
[Note]
≥The beginnings of recordings may not be recorded correctly in some cases.
≥Depending on the signals sent from the TV stations, the VPS/PDC system may not work properly even when "VPS/PDC" has been set to "ON".
≥Please check with the broadcasters in your area for details.
≥VPS/PDC does not activate while this unit is on. The system stays inactive under the condition even its setting is "ON". In such cases, recording
starts and finishes at times you set initially.
