Programme Delivery Control (PDC) Recording
Now available from some TV stations, Programme
Delivery Control (PDC) 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 (for this unit, the HDD deck) 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 available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Channel
4 and Channel 5 (except the cases that the
programmes are broadcast through a few small relay
transmitters). Channel 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 TV station you intend to record does not offer a
PDC service, your recorder will not start recording if
PDC has been turned “ON.” Be sure to turn “OFF”
PDC in this case.
NOTES
•When you use Express Timer programming, set the start
time exactly as advertised in the TV listing.
•Now most of the satellite stations and the cable systems
also offer the PDC service. However, with this unit, PDC
recording of a satellite programme is only possible using
Automatic Satellite Recording (if your satellite receiver can
detect the PDC signals). See page 46.
•PDC works for a timer recording only when the unit is
turned off.
