This VCR incorporates the PDC function.
If the VCR is tuned to a TV station transmitting a
PDC signal, the VCR automatically takes any delay,
early starting or extension of the programme into
account when recording the specified programme.
For example, assume that you programme the
timer for a football game on station 8 from 19:00
to 20:45 on Saturday and the football game which
is broadcast is changed from 21:00 to 23:00, the
PDC function works and the VCR records the
football game automatically from 21:00 to 23:00.
Caution:
For the PDC function to work, the start and end
time must be keyed-in EXACTLY as scheduled
(as advertised); even though the actual
broadcast may vary from the schedule.
Notes:
1. The first time you do timer programming with
this set, the PDC function is off.
2. To switch on the PDC function, press the PDC
button once. Pressing the button again turns
PDC off.
3. Subsequently, the on/off default follows your
previous setting.
4. Always programme the timer for one TV
programme to record the programme with the
PDC function turned on. If you programme the
timer for a football game and a movie on
station 3 sequentially from 10:00 to 14:00 for
example, only the football game will be
recorded but the movie will not.
In this case, programme the timer with the PDC
off or input the other programme using another
programme number to turn on the PDC function
again.
5. When the VCR is tuned to a station transmitting
a PDC signal but the signal conditions are poor,
programme the timer with PDC turned off. If you
programme the timer with PDC turned on, the
PDC function does not operate normally.
6. When reviewing the programmed information
as shown in the TV screen above, you can see
the marking of " " at the end of the
programmed details. (Refer to programme No. 1
and 2). This indicate that the PDC function is
turned on when performing the timer
programming.
7. If the broadcast programme does not have a
PDC signal, your timer recording will function
according to the time you have preset on the
VCR.
8. A programme without PDC signal will be
deleted after it has been recorded. Whereas, the
programme with PDC signal will only be
automatically deleted after 4:00 am the next
morning.
