If a TV programme begins or ends earlier or later than planned,
this function synchronises the beginning and end of the
recording session with the actual beginning and end of the TV
programme through a VPS signal transmitted by the TV station.
ON : The station transmits VPS/PDC signals. You must set the
timer to the time specified in the TV magazines. Use the
special VPS time the TV magazine may indicate.
- - - : The station does not transmit VPS/PDC signals. Try to set
the start and stop time such that the entire film can be
recorded even if a programme begins or ends earlier or
later than planned.
