PDC  
“PDC” (program delivery control) are used to control  
the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV  
program starts earlier or ends later than was  
scheduled, the DVD recorder will then turn on and off  
at the correct time. Refer to “Timer Record using the  
VIDEO Plus+ system” section for details about setting.  
Notes:  
1. You must enter the start time exactly to the minute. If you  
want to program a time that is different from the PDC time,  
you must switch off PDC.  
2. Only on TV program of a TV channel can be controlled  
using “PDC” at a time. If you want to record two or more  
TV programs on a TV channel using “PDC,” you need to  
program these as two separate recordings.  
3. Since the DVD recorder requires a certain lead time for  
getting the disc up to speed and positioning the laser before  
recording can start, it is possible that the recorder will miss  
the first few seconds of a TV show recorded with PDC. In  
this case, disable PDC and enter a start time one minute  
earlier.

DVD+RW is a recordable and rewritable disc. Recording can be  
erasd and you can record on the same disc again for the  
maximum of 1,000 times. DVD+RW use a recording format that  
is comparable to a DVD-Video format.  
Indicates the number of scanning lines and scanning format of  
an image signal.  
576i indicates 576 scanning lines with interlace format, and  
576p indicates 576 scanning lines with progressive format.  
Interlace output  
Aspect ratio  
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan  
lines, The Interlaced scanning system places lines of the  
second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the  
picture.  
Aspect ratio refers to the length to height ratio of TV screens.  
The ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio of a high-  
definition or wide TV is 16:9. The letter box allows you to enjoy  
a picture with a wider perspective.  
Bitstream

code of the recorder: 0000)  
The image from this unit does not appear on the  
television.  
--> Make sure that the TV is connected to the AV OUTPUT,  
SCART OUT or COMP OUT terminals on this unit. (refer to  
“CONNECTIONS” section)  
--> Make sure that the television’s input setting is correct.  
--> Make sure that a disc is well-placed on the disc tray and is  
compatible to the local TV system ( PAL)  
--> Check whether the recorder is set to progressive with an  
incompatible TV. Reset by pressing [], “5,” “0,” “2,” and “0”

S-VIDEO output.  
The timer program remains even after recording  
finishes.
