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 s elected. Be sure to set PDC t o
“OFF” if PDC is not available on your selected channel.
(See step F on page 24 and step I on page 26.
NOTES:
When you use Express 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.
