• Cancel the timer-standby mode by pressing
[TIMER SET] before operation for either DVD or
VCR. When finished operating, press [TIMER SET]

PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
The 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” below.
