programmes. If you try to programme the recorder to record a
seventh, "PROGRAM FULL" appears on the TV screen and
"FULL" appears on the front display panel. To record the extra
programme, you must first cancel any unnecessary
programmes ( pg. 42).
It is not possible to timer-record a satellite broadcast received
on the channel position "0" by the satellite receiver.
It is not possible to timer-record the same programme on both
the VHS deck and the DV deck simultaneously.
During timer recording, it is not possible to change the
recording deck (VHS or DV).
If the times that are programmed for recording on the DV deck
and on the VHS deck overlap, the earlier start time takes
precedence. If the start times are the same, the VHS deck takes
precedence.
Satellite Receiver Users
To timer-record a satellite broadcast using Express Timer
Programming:

B Perform steps 1 – 13. In step 9, press the number key "0"
to change "TV PROG" to "SAT". The front display panel

VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme
Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are
service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording.
With this system, special code signals are transmitted
together with the audio/video signals. These code signals
control your video recorder and have precedence over the
advertised times you may have preset into the timer. This
means that your recorder will start and stop recording when
the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if
the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.
NOTES:
When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start time
(VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A
different time than advertised will result in no recording.
VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver
or a cable system is connected to AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER
connector on your recorder.
VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 (L-1) IN/OUT
connector.
How to check if the station being received transmits a
VPS/PDC signal (VHS deck only)
A Press – –:– – until the channel position appears on the
front display panel.
B Hold down START+ for about 5 seconds.
"VPS/PDC" appears blinking on the front display panel.
If a VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station,
"VPS/PDC" will stop blinking.
If no VPS/PDC signal is detected from the station,
"VPS/PDC" will blink at a slower rate.
C Press – –:– – or START+ again to return to normal display.
