Timer Recording (cont’d)

PDC (Programme Delivery

Control)

Programme Delivery Control (PDC) assures that the TV programmes you have programmed for timer recording are recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to a delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Furthermore, if a programme is interrupted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme starts again.

If the PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or if a broadcasting station does not transmit a regular PDC signal, the timer recording is performed in normal mode (without PDC) even if it was programmed for PDC. If the starting time of the PDC timer recording is between 0:00 and 3:59 on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 20:00 on the previous day to 4:00 on the next day. If the starting time of the PDC timer recording is between 4:00 and 23:59 on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 0:00 on the given day to 4:00 on the next day. This means that if the relevant programme is broadcasted within this period, it is recorded correctly. If the timer is not programmed correctly, the incorrect timer setting stays in effect unless you cancel it. To cancel an incorrect timer setting, refer to “Checking, cancelling, or correcting the timer programming information” on page 51.

Hints for Timer Recording

●If there is a power failure or the unit is unplugged for more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all timer settings will be lost.

●If there is no disc or an unrecordable disc in the tray, the icon will flash and timer recording will not occur. Insert a recordable disc.

●When all timer recordings are complete, the icon flashes. To play back or eject the recorded disc, press [I/y ON/STANDBY], and then press [PLAY B] or [OPEN/CLOSE A].

●During timer recording or timer-standby mode ( icon appears on the front panel display), no operations on the unit are available. To make operations available, cancel the timer recording or timer-standby mode ( icon disappears).

●To cancel the timer-standby mode, press [I/y ON/ STANDBY].

●If the Start and End times are same, the length of the recording will be set for 24 hours. If the disc becomes full during recording, the unit will turn itself off.

●If two or more programmes overlap, “Overlap” and the overlapped programme number will appear on the display.

●If the Start time is earlier and the End time is later than the current time, the recording will start immediately after you turn the power off.

■The priority of overlapped settings

The unit records programmes according to priority if the timer programmes overlap.

■If the starting time is same:

• The timer programming set first (PROG. 1) has priority.
