If Timer record events Overlap...
Make sure that the preset times of the timer recording
events do not overlap. If they do, the earlier pro-
gramme will always be given priority.
Example:
Programme 1 is programmed to start at 16:00 and end at 17:00.
Programme 2 is programmed to start at 16:30 and end at 17:30.
(In this case, Programme 1 will be recorded in its entirety, but
only the last 30 minutes of Programme 2 will be recorded.)
If you want to watch a DVD during timer recording,
press TV/VCR on the remote control to select VCR
mode.
The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) system
adjusts the start and end times of a timer record event.
This can be particularly useful with sports events which
may run over into extra time. The PDC signal is trans-
mitted by the broadcaster and this controls your video
recorder’s timer.
Currently only a limited number of TV companies
transmit PDC signals.
Please make sure that when recording from chan-
nels that do not broadcast PDC that you turn PDC
OFF.
