VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery
Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are services
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 unit and
have precedence over the advertised times you may have preset
into the timer. This means that your unit 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 Manual 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 [L-2 IN/DECODER] connector on your
unit.
●
VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the [L-1 IN/OUT] connector.

PDC signal
