Timer recording
PDC function
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 VCR 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 VCR 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.
