About 'VPS/PDC'
(VPS/PDC is not available in some countries).
'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.
