ªSetting for control of the recording starting and
ending time by special signal Included in the
broadcasting signal (PDC Function)
PDC stands for Programme Delivery Control.
If a TV programme, for example a football game runs longer than
scheduled, is shortened or starts earlier or later, this function
synchronizes the recording start and stop with the actual
broadcasting start and stop of the TV programme.
Conditions for correct operation of the PDC function:
≥"ON" must be displayed under [PDC] on the screen.
≥The TV station must broadcast PDC signals.
≥The programme starting time must be set correctly to the starting
time listed in the newspaper/magazine.
To activate the PDC Function:
Use [3, 4] (10) to make the "ON" indication appear.
ªIf "– –" appears under "Name" after entering a
VIDEO Plus+ number
Name stands for Programme Position/TV Station Name.
Normally, the name of the TV station or the number of the
programme position is displayed under "Name".
However, if the TV station information was not automatically set
during Preset Download or Auto Setup due to adverse reception
conditions, the "– –" indication appears instead.
In such a case, follow the operation steps below to correct it.
Use [3, 4] (10) repeatedly to select the programme
position on which the TV programme to be recorded
will be broadcast.
After you have entered the information of a TV station, it remains
stored in the unit's memory, and you do not need to enter it again
in the future.
Note
≥The built-in clock employs 24-hour system.
≥The actual time recorded may be longer than the programme
itself when television programmes are recorded using VIDEO
Plus+.
≥"Invalid Entry" is displayed when you enter the wrong code.
Reenter the code.
≥"PROG FULL" is displayed in the unit's display if there are already
16 items programmed. Delete unnecessary items (page 35).
≥The remaining time displayed is calculated based on the current
recording mode.
≥When recording more than one programme in a row, for DVD-
RAM the first few seconds, and for DVD-R about the first 30
seconds of all programmes from the second one onwards will not
be recorded.
≥Recording is not possible unless you set "Disc Protection" in
"DISC INFORMATION" to "Off". (page 38)

latest 10 minutes before the programmed timer recording starting
time, the [ ] flashes on the unit display. In this case, press the
