What is 'VPS/PDC'?
With 'VPS' (Video Programming System)/ 'PDC'(Programme Delivery Control)
the TV station controls the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a
TV programme starts earlier or ends later than was scheduled, the DVD
recorder will still switch itself on and off and the correct times.

What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS or PDC time. But if your TV
guide gives a VPS or PDC time which is different from the programme's start
time, e.g. '20.15 (VPS/PDC 20.14)', you must enter the VPS/PDC time
'20.14' exact to the minute as the start time.
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS or PDC time,
you must switch off VPS or PDC.

Only one TV programme on a TV channel can be controlled using 'VPS/PDC'
at a time. If you want to record two or more TV programmes on a TV
channel using 'VPS/PDC', you will need to programme these as two separate
recordings.
