Timer Recording with PDC Signals
The German broadcasting system transmits PDC (Programme Delivery
Control) signals with the TV programmes. These signals assure you that
your timer recordings are made regardless of broadcast delays, early starts,
or broadcast interruptions. For example, if an urgent news bulletin
interrupts a regular programme, recording stops. As soon as the
interrupted programme resumes, recording starts again.
1 If the TIMER REC lamp is lit on the front panel, press TIMER REC ON/
OFF to turn it off.
2 Before setting the timer, press PDC on the inside of the front panel so that
the PDC lamp lights up.
3 Set the timer following the steps in “Setting the timer” (pages 23 and 24).
Notes on PDC recording
• If you use PDC recording while
watching the TV, the programme
automatically changes to the timer
recording programme and you
cannot change programmes.
Make sure to use PDC recording
only when the video/TV set is in
standby mode or in power switch
off mode. If you watch the TV
continuously, cancel the PDC
timer recording.
• If recording times overlap due to a
PDC time shift, the programme
that was broadcast first has
priority. Recording of the second
programme begins when the first
programme has finished.
• If the video TV could not receive a
PDC signal because it was too
weak or because the station failed
to transmit PDC signals, timer
recording is made without the
PDC function.
