The first time you use your VCR you will see
ACMS (Automatic Channel Memory System)
displayed on the screen.
This system automatically tunes and stores TV channels. If you want to return to ACMS after your initial set up, access

Programme Delivery Control (PDC)
or Video Programme System (VPS)
ACMS uses a signal broadcast by the
stations to identify, name and store
them. This signal is called Programme
Delivery Control (PDC). Only a small
number of broadcasters currently
include PDC format in their broadcasts.
If your Video Recorder has trouble
identifying the stations because the
signal is not included with the
broadcast or not strong enough you
may have to name and tune TV
channels manually. See ‘Manual tuning’
on page 6.
