PDC On

Perform the programme PDC recording.

PDC (Programme Delivery Control System)

Programme PDC is a system of telling the recorder

when a programme actually starts. Typically, when

you want to record a programme you will tell the

recorder to start recording, probably, five minutes

before the advertised starting time of the

programme and to finish ten minutes or so after the

programme is due to finish. So even if the

programme starts early or finishes late you will

normally still get to see what you wanted to record.

However when live programmes over-run or the

day’s television schedule is changed from that

advertized, you may miss the desired programme

which may have been delayed or even cancelled

and the recorder will record the programme even if

it is two or more hours late. With PDC, you enter

the exact start time and the recorder will wait until

the signal is sent to confirm the programme is

starting and the recorder will record the programme

even if it is two or more hours late.

PDC Off

Perform the normal programmed recording.

DVD-R Broadcast Record

Change the setting for writing on the DVD-R (

page 143) for each programmed recording.

Saving Mode

Use this feature when you want to save space

while using the best picture quality rate for

recording. You can normally use 9.2 Mbps for

recording and reduce the rate temporarily for the

portion where the high rate is not required if the

picture is fairly constant.

Off: This feature is disabled and the normal

recording is performed.

On: This feature is enabled.

Notes

•When the audio quality is set to “L-PCM”, the

picture quality is set to “Manual 8.0 Mbps”. When

the audio quality is set to any other selection, the

picture quality is set to “Manual 9.2 Mbps”.

•While this is set On, you cannot change the mode

or rate.

•The space availability may not change, depending

on the picture contents.

Chap. Mute

This feature automatically creates divisions for

chapters when no audio (no audible sound)

portion is found.

For example, when you have recorded a

programme of music clips, you can use this

feature to jump to the beginning of a clip during

playback. It does not create completely

independent chapters or automatically divide into

chapters when no audio portion is found.

Off: This feature is disabled.

On: Division for chapters when no audio portion

is found.

Notes

•Divisions for chapters may not be created,

depending on the contents of the programme or the

condition of no audio portion, or it may be created

at different positions. A division for a chapter may

be created within a music clip.

• Depending on the specification made for the

recording sound level, a division for a chapter may

not be created or it may be created at different

positions.

•Divisions for chapters cannot be created during

playback (including Chase Play and Title Playback

by HDD) or while the CONTENT MENU is

displayed.
