PDC(Programme Delivery Control)

The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) is a very
convenient system which assures that the TV pro-
grammes you have programmed for timer recording,
will be recorded exactly from beginning to end, even
if the actual broadcasting time differs from the sched-
uled time due to delayed start or extension of the pro-
gramme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted
and, for example, some special news is broadcast, the
recording will also be interrupted automatically and
resumed when the programme continues.
When the PDC signal drop out because the broadcast
signal is weak, or when a broadcasting station does
not transmit a regular PDC signal, the timer recording
will be performed in the normal mode (without PDC)
even if it was programmed for PDC. When the start-
ing time of the PDC timer recording is from 0:00 to
3:59 on a given day, the PDC function operates from
20:00 on the previous day to 4:00 on the following
day. When the starting time of the PDC timer record-
ing is from 4:00 to 23:59 on the given day, the PDC
function operates from 0:00 on the day to 4:00 on the
following day. This means that if the relevant pro-
