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 the advertised times which you may
have preset into 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 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 only in a very
few 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 recorder 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. (Z step 5 in the
left column).
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.
