PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
Operation for 31B-254/31B-454 only
The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) is a very convenient
system which assures that the TV programmes you have
programmed for Timer Recording, will be recorded exactly
from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time
differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or
extension of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is
interrupted and, for example, some special news is broadcast,
the recording will also be interrupted automatically and
resumed when the programme continues.
When the PDC signal drop out because the broadcast signal is
weak, or when a broadcasting station does not transmit a
regular PDC signal, the Timer Recording will be performed in
the normal mode (without PDC) even if it was programmed
for PDC. When the starting time of the PDC Timer
Recording is from 0:00 to 3:59 on a given day, the PDC
function operates from 20:00 on the previous day to 4:00 on
the following day. When the starting time of the PDC Timer
Recording is from 4:00 to 23:59 on the given day, the PDC
function operates from 0:00 on the day to 4:00 on the
following day. This means that if the relevant programme is
broadcasted within this period, it will be recorded correctly. If
