Timer recording with PDC signals

The German broadcasting system transmits PDC (Programme Delivery Control) signals with the TV programmes. These signals assure you that your timer recordings are made regardless of broadcast delays, early starts, or broadcast interruptions. For example, if an urgent news bulletin interrupts a regular programme, recording stops. As soon as the interrupted programme resumes, recording starts again.

1If the TIMER REC lamp is lit on the front panel, press TIMER REC ON/ OFF to turn it off.

2Press TIMER ON SCREEN.

Notes on PDCrecording

•If recording times overlap due to a PDC time shift, the programme that was broadcast first has priority. Recording of the second programme begins when the first programme has finished.

•If the video TV could not receive a PDC signal because it was too weak or because the station failed to transmit PDC signals, timer recording is made without the PDC function.

•(KV-14V5U, KV-21V5U only) If you use PDC recording while watching the TV, the programme automatically changes to the timer recording programme and you cannot change programmes. Make sure to use PDC recording only when the video TV is in standby mode. If you watch the TV continuously, cancel the PDC timer recording.

4Using the + ×or – Ãbuttons, select ON, then press OK.
