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.

Notes on PDC 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.
• (KV-14V5U, KV-21V5U only)
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 is in standby
mode. If you watch the TV
continuously, cancel the PDC timer
recording.
