Note
• As to the Timer Programme in progress (which is 
shown in red in the Timer Programming List), you 
only can edit the end time. The changes made 
during recording will be recognised as only specific 
to that recording in progress and it will not affect the 
daily or the weekly recording setting.
PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
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 
“Editing the Timer Programming information” on the 
left.
