VPS (Video Programme System)/
PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
VPS or PDC is a very convenient system which assures that the 
TV programmes you have programmed for timer recording will be 
recorded exactly from beginning to end, 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 and, for example, some special news is inserted, the 
recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when 
the programme continues.
Depending on the signals sent from the TV stations, 
the VPS/PDC system may not operate 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 one 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 beginning 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 ShowView (G-code) programming since “VPS/PDC” 
is automatically set to “ON” in some countries.

≥If a programme listed in a newspaper or magazine has two 

ShowView (G-code) numbers, use the ShowView (G-code) 
number for VPS/PDC if you wish to proceed with VPS/PDC 
recording using ShowView (G-code) programming.

≥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.

DVD-Video are divided up into large sections, titles, and smaller 
sections, chapters. The numbers allocated to these sections are 
called title numbers and chapter numbers.

(1) Title 1
(2) Title 2
(3) Chapter 1
(4) Chapter 2
(5) Chapter 3

This is the smallest division on CD, and Video CD, and usually 
equates to a single song.

(1) Track 1
(2) Track 2
(3) Track 3
(4) Track 4
(5) Track 5
