Note
• If you have not set the clock, the clock setting
window will appear instead of the Timer
Programming list. Continue from the step 4 in
“Manual Clock Setting” on page 33 to set the clock,
before programming the timer.
• Use
[
L
/
P
]
to move the cursor to the left and the
right in the entry screen for the timer programming.
• If a basic recording or One-touch Timer Recording is
in progress on one component (e.g. VCR) and the
timer recording set for the other component (e.g.
DVD) is about to begin, the unit automatically
switches to the programmed channel for timer
recording 2 minutes before the programmed starting
time, and the recording in progress (for VCR) will be
cancelled UNLESS their recording channels are the
same. If their recording channels are the same, the
timer recording will start without cancelling the
recording currently in progress. In this case, the
recording of the same channel will be made on both
DVD and VCR.
• Cancel the timer-standby mode by pressing
[TIMER SET]
before operation for either DVD or
VCR. When finished operating, press
[TIMER SET]
to resume the timer-standby mode.
• In the timer-standby mode, you can turn on the
power and use the component (VCR or DVD) which
is not currently timer-programmed.
PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
Programme Delivery Control (PDC) assures that the
TV programmes you have programmed for timer
recording are recorded exactly from beginning to end,
even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the
scheduled time due to a delayed start or extension of
the programme duration. Furthermore, if a
programme is interrupted, the recording will also be
interrupted automatically and resumed when the
programme starts again.
If the PDC signal drops out because the broadcast
signal is weak, or if a broadcasting station does not
transmit a regular PDC signal, the timer recording is
performed in normal mode (without PDC) even if it
was programmed for PDC. If the starting time of the
PDC timer recording is between 0:00 and 3:59 on a
given day, the PDC function will operate from 20:00
on the previous day to 4:00 on the next day. If the
starting time of the PDC timer recording is between
4:00 and 23:59 on a given day, the PDC function will
operate from 0:00 on the given day to 4:00 on the
next day. This means that if the relevant programme
is broadcasted within this period, it is recorded
correctly. If the timer is not programmed correctly, the
incorrect timer setting stays in effect unless you
cancel it. To cancel an incorrect timer setting, refer to
“Checking, Cancelling or Correcting the Timer
Programming Information” on this page.
Note
• This feature is only available for analogue channels.
• If you have a timer programme with the EPG system
(see page 44), this feature may not work.
