PDC (Programme Delivery
Control)
The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) assures that
the TV programmes you have programmed for timer
recording are recorded exactly from beginning to end,
even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the
scheduled time due to a delayed start or extension of
the programme duration. Furthermore, if a
programme is interrupted, the recording will also be
interrupted automatically and resumed when the
programme starts again.
If the PDC signal drops out because the broadcast
signal is weak, or if a broadcasting station does not
transmit a regular PDC signal, the timer recording is
performed in normal mode (without PDC) even if it
was programmed for PDC. If the starting time of the
PDC timer recording is between 0:00 and 3:59 on a
given day, the PDC function will operate from 20:00
on the previous day to 4:00 on the given day. If the
starting time of the PDC timer recording is between
4:00 and 23:59 on a given day, the PDC function will
operate from 0:00 on the day to 4:00 on the given day.
This means that if the relevant programme is
broadcasted within this period, it is recorded correctly.
If the timer is not programmed correctly, the incorrect
timer setting stays in effect unless you cancel it. To
cancel an incorrect timer setting, refer to “Checking,
cancelling, or correcting the timer programming
information” on page 29.
Hints for timer recording
• If there is a power failure or the unit is unplugged for
more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all
timer settings will be lost.
• If there is no disc or an unrecordable disc in the tray,
the DVD indicator will flash and timer recording will
not occur. Insert a recordable disc.
• If there is no tape or a tape with a record tab is not in
the cassette compartment, the VCR indicator on the
front panel flashes and timer recording cannot be
performed. Please insert a recordable tape.
• When all timer recordings are complete, the
icon flashes. To play back or eject the recorded disc,
press [T-SET], and then press [PLAY P] or
[OPEN / CLOSE / EJECT O].
