‘PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control) is used to control the start and end time of TV channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than was scheduled, the recorder will then switch on and off at the correct time.

VPS/PDC is intended to record the entire programme. To set a timer that is longer/ shorter than the VPS/PDC broadcast time, you must turn off the VPS/PDC.
