• VPS/PDC is a service provided by some stations to enable you to perform timer recordings precisely even if
the broadcaster delays the start time of the programme slightly. The time you enter is the VPS/PDC time so
must be correct. Not all stations offer VPS/PDC, in which case the player will start at the time you enter and
not the actual start time of the programme.
If you wish to start recording at a specific time without it being adjusted by the VPS/PDC system in the
event of a delay, switch VPS/PDC off otherwise the player will not record.
• If you don’t have the ShowView numbers see next page for the normal timer.
• If you have made a mistake, move back to the relevant position with the [
œ
] button and change the setting.
• If there is no programme location displayed under “PR” in the change menu, the player doesn’t yet know
the location number for the programme you want. Type it in and this will be stored for last recordings.
• If you wish to record from a satellite receiver, select under “PR” the satellite programme location or AV (1/2)
(depending on the connection with the antenna cable or the SCART-cable). Leave the satellite tuner
switched on and to the programme you want.
• Should programming overlap, you get a warning.
• To cancel the recording press the button (stop) more than 5 seconds.
