The PDC/VPS facility ensures that a programmeaccompanied by the PDC/VPS signals will berecorded in its full length – even if theprogramme is delayed or prolonged.

If the PDC/VPS facility is set to On and thePDC/VPS signals or times are provided by thebroadcaster, you must programme the exactstart and stop times of each programme youwish to record in order for your Timerrecording to be successful. If you wish torecord two programmes in a row, you mustmake two separate Timer recordings.

If the PDC/VPS facility is set to Off, recordingwill start and stop as you programme, even ifthe programme is delayed or prolonged. So,just programme the start time of the firstprogramme and the stop time of the next oneto record two programmes in a row.
