Programme Delivery Control adjusts the start and stop time of a timer recording
automatically to ensure the recording starts and finishes in line with the programme
broadcast.
This is useful when a programme over-runs the published times.
The station must be transmitting PDC and the exact time must be set for PDC to work.
The DVD Recorder detects whether a station is transmitting PDC only during the tuning
process. If PDC is introduced or discontinued by a station you will need to re-tune the
DVD Recorder before it becomes aware of this.
PDC transmissions are not currently nation-wide so please check with your local
broadcaster for more information.
ON :
The station transmits PDC signals. You must set the timer to the time specified
in the TV magazines.
- - - :
The station does not transmit PDC signals. Try to set the start and stop time
such that the entire film can be recorded even if a programme begins or ends
earlier or later than planned.
OFF:
If you do not want to use the PDC signals, you can turn them off.
