Programme Delivery Control (PDC) Recording Now available from some TV stations, Programme Delivery Control (PDC) 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 (for this unit, the HDD deck) 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 available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Channel 4 and Channel 5 (except the cases that the programmes are broadcast through a few small relay transmitters). Channel 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 TV station you intend to record does not offer a PDC service, your recorder will not start recording if PDC has been turned “ON.” Be sure to turn “OFF” PDC in this case.

NOTES

•When you use Express Timer programming, set the start time exactly as advertised in the TV listing.

•Now most of the satellite stations and the cable systems also offer the PDC service. However, with this unit, PDC recording of a satellite programme is only possible using Automatic Satellite Recording (if your satellite receiver can detect the PDC signals). See page 46.

•PDC works for a timer recording only when the unit is turned off.
