PDC Recording
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 advertised times you preset in 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.
NOTES:
●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.

IMPORTANT
Be sure to confirm the setting of PDC recording.
●If " 
ON" is displayed on the screen or " 
" is lit on the display panel, PDC is set to ON.
●If " 
OFF" is displayed on the screen or " 
" is not lit on the display panel, PDC is set to OFF.
To change the setting, press 
: PDC (NUMBER key "7").
☞ "PDC Recording" in the left column.
●Make sure the preset position number you wish to record is displayed; if not, see "Video Plus+ Setup" on page 10 and set the Guide Program number for that PlusCode number correctly.
●If the number you entered is invalid, "ERROR" appears on the screen and "Err" appears on the display panel. Press CANCEL to backspace and input a valid PlusCode number.
●If "ERROR=GUIDE PROG" appears on the screen, see "ATTENTION – Regarding Guide Program Number Set" on page 25.
