Satellite Receiver Users
To timer-record a satellite broadcast using Manual Timer

Perform “Satellite Receiver Control Setting” on page 26.
B
Perform “Manual Timer Programming”. In step
G
, press
AUX
to change “TV PROG” to “SAT”. Then press

VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme
Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are
services designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording.
With this system, special code signals are transmitted
together with the audio/video signals. These code signals
control your video unit and have precedence over the
advertised times you may have preset into the timer. This
means that your unit 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:
●
When you use Manual Timer Programming, set the start
time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV
listing. A different time than advertised will result in no
recording.
●
VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite
receiver or a cable system is connected to L-2 IN/
DECODER connector on your unit.
●
VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the L-1 IN/OUT
connector.
How to check if the station being received transmits a
VPS/PDC signal
A
Hold down
DISPLAY
for about 5 seconds. “VPS/PDC”
appears blinking on the front display panel. If a VPS/PDC
signal is detected from the station, “VPS/PDC” will stop
blinking. If no VPS/PDC signal is detected from the
station, “VPS/PDC” will blink at a slower rate.
B
Press
DISPLAY
again to return to normal display.
