Timer recording with VPS/PDC signals

Some broadcasting systems transmit VPS (Video Programme System) signals or
PDC (Programme Delivery Control) signals with the TV programmes. These
signals ensure you that your timer recordings are made regardless of broadcast
delays, early starts, or broadcast interruptions. For example, if an urgent news
bulletin interrupts a regular programme, recording stops. As soon as the
interrupted programme resumes, recording starts again. To do that:
1
When you set a programme to be recorded by using the timer, (refer to the "Setting
the Timer" section on page 13), set VPS/PDC to On.
•If recording times overlap due to a VPS/PDC time shift, the programme that was broadcast first has
priority. Recording of the second programme begins when the first programme has finished.
•If the Video TV could not receive VPS/PDC signal because it was too weak or because the station
failed to transmit VPS/PDC signals, timer recording is made without the VPS/PDC function.
