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”
on pages 34.

Note

• This feature is only available for analogue channels.
• If DVB channels have been stored in this unit, you cannot

select PDC on.
