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.
