Video Programm System (VPS)
@ This video recorder is equipped with a VPS decoder, so that
you no longer have to worry if TV programmes stop earlier or go
on longer than expected which means that timed recordings start
and stop too late or too soon.
@ With the help of this VPS decoder recordings will be made at
the exact moment the TV programme starts and will be recorded
from the beginning till the end.
e@ At this moment a VPS code is transmitted by the ARD and ZDF
stations and some third stations of the ARD and SRG.
In the near future other TV stations will transmit a VPS code. They
will give you more information.
@ Each transmitted TV programmes has a different VPS code
which ‘controls’ the start and stop times of the programmed
recording block.
Example of a recording without VPS control
20:15 hours - Stop time of News bulletin (according to your TV
- guide, Teletext page or programme review of the
; TV station)
20:30 hours - The real stop time.
20:15 hours - Your video recorder does not recognizes the:
7 “- delay and starts the timed recording (for example
a feature film).
21:40 hours - Original stop time of the film.
21:55 hours - Real stop time of the film.
Result: The end of the film has not been recorded.
Other problems which may occur
- A transmission stops earlier than indicated, which means that
the feature film will be transmitted earlier. The programmed start
time is later.
Result: The beginning of the film will not be recorded.
- Due to a 10 minute disturbance in transmission the film ends 10
minutes later than planned. However, your video recorder
records also records the disturbance.
- Result: The end of the film will not be recorded.
WITH VPS THESE PROBLEMS WILL NO LONGER OCCUR
@ When programming a block (see beginning of this section) you
can switch the VPS control on or off using Reset (RUCKST.)
button 10.
If the VPS control is switched on the Display and the TV screen
show ‘VPS’.
When a VPS controlled recording has been made, the ‘VPS’
indication disappears.
Pay attention to the following:
1. Enter the exact VPS start time as indicated in your TV guide (or
Teletext page or programme review of the TV station).
if a different start time is entered, a recording cannot be made.
2. if a VPS start time is already known before the TV guide was
printed or before the Teletext pages were updated, the correct
VPS start time will be indicated. :
If the new start time is entered inadvertently, a recording cannot
be made.
3. If you have programmed 2 recording blocks, it is possible that
the programme of the first block stops too late, although the start
time second block has already been reached: —
The recording of the first biock will be made completely. After
that the video recorder switches over to the second block and
starts the recording.
4. If the start time of the first recording block is delayed until start
time of the second block, the video recorder switches over to
second block and starts the recording.
The first programmed recording will not be made or starts after
the second block has been completed.
The VPS control of the video recorder responds to the VPS signal
transmitted by the TV station.
If, despite careful programming, the recording is not carried out
the cause may be a different VPS signal transmitted by the TV
station.
5. If for a TV programme the given VPS start time is after
midnight, the date of the following day must be entered.
VPS recording standby mode
@ The video recorder must properly recognise programme
alterations.
In order to be able to record programmes which may possibly be
transmitted earlier, the VPS control starts to search for the VPS
code 28 hours (maximum). before the entered start time and
observes the up to 28 VPS code hours (maximum) after the
entered start time.
