PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) is a service designed to assure safe, accurate timer
recording. With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals
control your video recorder and have precedence over the advertised times which you may have preset into the timer. This
means that your recorder will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the
broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed from what has been advertised. PDC is currently available nationally on
BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except from a few small relay transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC service in some areas.
All channels intend to offer this service in due course. Check your TV programme listing guide for latest information. If the
channel you intend to record does not offer a PDC service your recorder will not start recording if PDC has been selected. Be
sure to set PDC to "OFF" if PDC is not available on your selected channel (
NOTES:
PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to AV2 IN/DECODER on your recorder.
PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT connector.
