If a TV program starts earlier or ends later than was scheduled, the DVD recorder will turn on and off at the correct scheduled time only. What do I need to know about "VPS/PDC"? Usually the start time is the same as the VPS or PDC time. If a different "VPS/PDC time" is indicated, e.g.:" 20.15 (VPS/PDC 20.14)", the VPS/PDC time "20.14" must be entered exactly to the minute during programming. If you want to program a time that is different from the VPS or PDC time, you must switch off VPS or PDC. Only one TV program of a TV channel can be controlled using "VPS/PDC" at a time. If you want to record two or more TV program on a TV channel using "VPS/PDC", you will need to program these as two separate recordings. Since the DVD recorder requires a certain lead time (for getting the disc up to speed and positioning the laser ) before recording can start, it is possible that the recorder will miss the first few seconds of a TV show recorded with VPS/PDC. In this case, disable VPS/PDC and enter a start time one minute earlier. 5. Press SELECT to confirm and exit. Press TIMER to cancel, without saving. 22 Editing a Title Recorded 1.
