VPS (Video Programme System)/PDC
(Programme Delivery Control)
The Video Programme System (VPS) or the Programme
Delivery Control (PDC) is a very convenient system which
assures that the TV programmes you have programmed for
timer recording, will be recorded exactly from beginning to
end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the
scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the
programme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted and,
for example, some special news is broadcast, the recording will
also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the
programme continues.
When the VPS/PDC signal drop out because the broadcast
signal is weak, or when a broadcasting station does not
transmit a regular VPS/PDC signal, the timer recording will be
performed in the normal mode (without VPS/PDC) even if it
was programmed for VPS/PDC. When the starting time of the
VPS/PDC timer recording is from 0:00 to 3:59 on a given day,
the VPS/PDC function operates from 20:00 on the previous
day to 4:00 on the following day. When the starting time of
the VPS/PDC timer recording is from 4:00 to 23:59 on the
given day, the VPS/PDC function operates from 0:00 on the
day to 4:00 on the following day. This means that if the
relevant programme is broadcasted within this period, it will
be recorded correctly. If the timer is not programmed
correctly, the incorrect timer setting stays in effect unless you
cancel it. To cancel the incorrect timer setting, refer to “To
Cancel or Check the Start/End Time’’ on page 11.
QUICK-FIND
This function enables you to search and confirm the contents
of the recorded programme(s) using the index mark.
• Use the remote control for this procedure.
• The tape must be fully rewound.

Maintenance
Cabinet Cleaning
• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the
VCR with a soft cloth that has been immersed in lukewarm
water and wrung dry.
• Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide
liquid near the VCR. Such chemicals may cause damage
and discolouration to the exposed surfaces.
Auto Head Cleaning
• This feature automatically cleans the heads as you insert or
remove a cassette to ensure a clear picture.
• The playback picture may become blurred or interrupted
even if the TV programme received is clear. This does not
mean that the recorded programme has been erased. This
problem is caused by dirt accumulated on the head after
long periods of use, or usage of rental or old tapes. In this
case, head cleaning requires highly technical expertise and
the nearest dealer should therefore be consulted. Clean
heads only when problems occur.
Service
Should your VCR become inoperative, do not try to correct
the problem by yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Turn the unit off, unplug the power cord, and take the
unit to a Service Centre for servicing.
