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 unit and have precedence over the advertised times which
you may have preset into the timer. This means that your unit 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 from what has been advertised. PDC is
currently available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5,
except from a few small relay transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC
service in some areas. All channels intend to offer this service in
due course. Check your TV programme listing guide for latest
information. If the channel you intend to record does not offer a
PDC service your unit will not start recording if PDC has been
selected. Be sure to set PDC to “OFF” if PDC is not available on
your selected channel. (See step 6 on page 45.)
NOTES:
●When you use Manual Timer Programming, set the start time (PDC
time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than
advertised will result in no recording.
●PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable
system is connected to L-2 IN/DECODER connector on your unit.
●PDC recording is also possible via the L-1 IN/OUT connector.

Manual Timer Programming

●Make sure that the unit’s built-in clock is set properly.
