Example: You wish to record the 1st station from 20:15 to 21:45 Uhr and the 2nd station from 21:50 to 22:30. But the programme from the 1st station is extended by 15 minutes. The recorder records this programme until 22:00, controlled by the VPS/PDC signal. Only then does it switch to the second station. So 10 minutes of the second programme are missing. If the programme from the 2nd station is to be recorded from the beginning you must delete VPS/PDC control when programming the 1st station. The length of the recording is then controlled by the switch-on and switch-off times. Recording of the 1st station then ends at 21:45. And recording of the 2nd station starts at 21:50. r r You can choose from two variants: 1. With the user guide and manual data entry. VPS/PDC ­ the Video Programme System VPS/PDC control when programming recording guarantees that your desired broadcasts are always recorded completely. Incorrect recording resulting from programme alterations no longer occurs. r Notes on TIMER programming with VPS/PDC Many TV stations broadcast an additional programme-related signal (VPS/PDC signal) which indicates the start and duration of each individual TV programme. It is therefore important when programming the recorder to enter the switch-on and switch-off times to the exact minute. If TV programmes are altered or moved, special VPS/PDC times are indicated in the programme over-views. They must be entered instead of the normal starting times. The recorder recognizes these alterations and is switched on at the actual start of the programme and switched off at the actual end of the programme. r Programming all evening programmes on one day You wish to record all the evening programmes on ARD (for example Saturday starting at 20:15, entertainment programme, winning Lotto numbers, film).
