PDC
PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
Programme Delivery Control adjusts the start and stop time of a timer recording automatically to ensure the recording starts and finishes in
line with the programme broadcast. This is useful when a programme over-runs the published times.
The station must be transmitting PDC and the exact time must be set for PDC to work.
The unit detects whether a station is transmitting PDC only during the tuning process.
If PDC is introduced or discontinued by a station you will need to re-tune the unit before it becomes aware of this.
PDC transmissions are not currently nation-wide so please check with your local broadcaster for more information.
The beginnings of recordings may not be recorded correctly in some cases.
