VPS (Video Programming System) & PDC
(Program Delivery Control)
VPS/PDC services are used to automatically check
the time information of TV programs being aired. If
the TV stations in your area carry the service, you
can switch on the PDC function when scheduling a
timer program on this DVD recorder. With the function
activated, the recorder will check whether the start
time of your preset program has been rescheduled,
and begin recording at the most updated time
accordingly.
You can assign a maximum of 20 PDC settings.
Please note that the PDC signal can only be
monitored when DVD recorder is in standby mode.
If you have been using the DVD recorder before a
preset timer program starts, the recording will begin
following the original schedule.
You can schedule a maximum of 32 timer programs.
If the setting list is full, you need to cancel some of
the reserved programs fi rst.
This DVD recorder features ‘power-on’ timer
recording: you do not need to switch off the recorder
to activate the function.
One recording session in double-layer discs CAN-
NOT exceed 8 hours. Once the session has lasted
for over 8 hours, this DVD recorder will automatically
stop recording.
If you use a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW (formatted in
‘Quick Preparation’ mode), you need to fi nalize the
disc before it can be played back on other compatible
devices. You can complete the process using ‘Easy
Guider’. Please see ‘Using Easy Guider: Disc
Tools’ (p.43) for details on how to fi nalize a disc.
