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, 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:
●
PDC recording is not possible in Central and Eastern Europe.
●
It is not possible to set the tape speed to IP with VPS/PDC
set to ON.
●
When you use Timer Programming, set the start time (VPS or
PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing.
Intelligent LP Recording (HR-V505/V506/V507E only)
When you set the tape speed to “IP”, the recorder automatically
switches to LP mode to allow complete recording if there is not
enough tape to record the entire programme while timer-
recording in SP mode.
For example,
recording a programme of 210 minutes in length
onto a 180-minute tape.
NOTES:
●
If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more
programmes, do not use this function, but change the tape
speed manually during timer programming.
●
There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the
tape speed switches from SP to LP mode on the tape.
●
This function is not available during ITR (Instant Timer
Recording), and will not work properly with any tapes longer
than E-180 or with some tapes of shorter lengths.
●
It is not possible to set the tape speed to IP with VPS/PDC
set to ON.
