PDC Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) is 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 unit and have precedence over the advertised times 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 29.).

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.

How to check if the station being received transmits a VPS/

PDC signal

APress DVD so that the DVD lamp lights up on the unit.

BHold down DISPLAY for about 5 seconds. “VPS/PDC” appears blinking on the front display panel. If a PDC signal is detected from the station, “VPS/PDC” will stop blinking. If no PDC signal is detected from the station, “VPS/PDC” will blink at a slower rate. C Press DISPLAY again to return to normal display.
