VPS/PDC
VPS (Video Programme System)/
PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
VPS or PDC is a very convenient system which records exactly 
from beginning to end of the TV programmes set in timer 
recording, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the 
scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the programme 
duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted, for example, some 
special news is inserted, the recording will be paused 
automatically and resumed when the programme continues.
Depending on the signals sent from the TV stations, the VPS/PDC 
system may not work properly even when “VPS/PDC” has been 
set to “ON”.
Please check with the broadcasters in your area for details.
≥In the case of VPS/PDC recording, use the correct time (VPS/
PDC time) for recording the TV programmes.
Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when the recording time is not the 
correct time (VPS/PDC time).
VPS/PDC recording is not performed when the time (VPS/PDC 
time) is incorrect, even if only by 1 minute. To find out the correct 
time (VPS/PDC time), consult Teletext, a newspaper or 
magazine, or other source.
≥If the actual broadcasting times of timer recordings overlap 
(regardless of whether they are VPS/PDC controlled), the 
recording that starts first always has priority, and the recording of 
the later programme will start only after the first timer recording 
has finished.
≥When the VPS/PDC signal drops out because the broadcast 
signal is weak, or when a TV station does not transmit a regular 
VPS/PDC signal, the timer recording will be performed in the 
normal mode (without VPS/PDC) even if it was programmed for 
VPS/PDC.
In this case, even if the timer recording is performed, whatever 
has been programmed will not be cancelled at that particular time 
but at 4 a.m. the day after tomorrow.
≥The start times of scheduled programmes listed in the newspaper 
or magazine may be changed at a later date. Set “VPS/PDC” to 
“OFF” when programming a programme whose start time has 
been subsequently changed. Particular care must be taken in this 
respect with S

 programming since “VPS/PDC” is 
automatically set to “ON” in some countries.
≥If a programme listed in a newspaper or magazine has two

≥The default settings for “VPS/PDC” differ depending on the 
country concerned. Refer to the following table.
≥If the broadcasting station is not transmitting VPS/PDC signals, 
jjj” appears in the menu for timer programming under “VPS/
PDC”.
≥The beginnings of recordings may not be recorded correctly in 
some cases.
