Satellite Receiver Users
To timer-record a satellite broadcast using Express Timer

1 Set "AV2 SELECT" to the appropriate mode. pg. 33
2 Perform steps 110. Enter "L-2" for the preset position
in step 6.
3 Set the satellite receiver to the appropriate channel
before the selected programme begins.
4 Leave the satellite receiver's power on.
NOTE:
You can programme this recorder to timer-record as many as 8
programmes. If you try to programme the recorder to record a
ninth, "PROGRAM FULL" appears on screen and "FULL" appears

must first cancel any unnecessary programmes (
pg. 18).
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme
Delivery Control) is a service designed to assure safe,
accurate timer recording. With this system, special code
signals are transmitted together with the audio/video
signals. These code signals control your video recorder and
have precedence over the advertised times which you may
have preset into the timer. This means that your recorder
will start and stop recording when the preset TV
programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast
time of a preset TV programme is changed from what has
been advertised. PDC is currently available nationally on
BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except from a few small relay
transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC service only in a very
few areas. All channels intend to offer this service in due
course. Check your TV programme listing guide for latest
information. If the channel you intend to record does not
offer a PDC service your recorder will not start recording if
PDC has been selected. Be sure to set PDC to "OFF" if PDC
is not available on your selected channel.
( step 8 in the left column).
NOTES:
Set the start time (PDC time) exactly as advertised in the
TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in
no recording.
PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver
or a cable system is connected to AV2 IN on your
recorder.
PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT
connector and the front panel connectors.

Timer Warning
If you have programmed your
recorder to timer-record a
programme or a series of
programmes, a warning
appears on the screen to tell
you that the recording is due
to start in 5 minutes.
NOTES:
The warning only appears if you’re not in the Timer
mode at the time.
If this recorder is being used as the player for tape
dubbing, the warning screen will be recorded on the
tape in the other video recorder.
The warning blinks for the entire 5 minutes leading up to
the start of timer recording. To clear the display, press .
