timer block'.
What is 'VPS'/'PDC'?
With 'VPS/PDC', the TV station controls the
beginning and the length of the programmed
recording. This means that the video recorder
switches itself on and off at the right time even if a
TV programme you have programmed begins earlier
or finishes later than expected.
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS/PDC
time. If, however, in the TV guide, in addition to a TV
programmes start time, a different VPS/PDC time is
given, e.g.: '20.15 (VPS 20.14)', you must enter '20.14'
as the start time exactly to the minute. If you want
to enter a time that differs from the VPS/PDC time,
you must switch off 'VPS/PDC'.
