About timer recording

To make a timer recording, your
recorder needs to know:

recording.

recording.

Recording Mode” in this chapter.

About ‘PDC’
‘PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control) is
used to control the start and end time of
TV channel recordings. If a TV programme
starts earlier or ends later than was
scheduled, the recorder will then switch on
and off at the correct time.
PDC is intended to record the entire
programme. To set a timer that is longer/
shorter than the PDC broadcast time,
you must turn off the PDC.
