PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
The Programme Delivery Contra! (PDC) is a very
convenient system which assures that the TV programmes
you have programmed for timer recording will be recorded
exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual
broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to
delayed stari or extension of the programme duration. Also,
if a programme is interrupted and for example, some
special news item is inserted, the recording will also be
interrupted automatically and resumed when the
programme continues.

function becomes operative when the VTR is equipped
with the optional PDC decoder. Gonsult your autnorized
video dealer.

uansmitted from the broadcasting station.

signal is weak, or when a
broadcasting station does not
transmit a regular PDC
