Press OPERATE to turn on the VCR/DVD, then press PLAY.

The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) is a very convenient
system which assures that the TV programmes you have pro-
grammed for timer recording, will be recorded exactly from begin-
ning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the
scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the pro-
gramme 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 pre-
vious 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 broad-
casted within this period, it will be recorded correctly. If the timer
is not programmed correctly, the incorrect timer setting stays in
effect unless you cancel it. To cancel the incorrect timer setting,
refer to “To Cancel or Check the Start/End Time” on page 16.

grammes that you want to skip appears.
