PDC Recording Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) is a service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals control your video recorder and have precedence over the advertised times which you may have preset into the timer. This means that your recorder will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed from what has been advertised. PDC is currently available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except from a few small relay transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC service only in a very few areas. All channels intend to offer this service in due course. Check your TV programme listing guide for latest information. If the channel you intend to record does not offer a PDC service your recorder will not start recording if PDC has been selected. Be sure to set PDC to "OFF" if PDC is not available on your selected channel (☞ step 5 above).

VPS (Video Programme System) recording is not currently available in the U.K. and not possible with this recorder. RETURN TO NORMAL SCREEN Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) is a service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals control your video recorder and have precedence over the advertised times which you may have preset into the timer. This means that your recorder will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed from what has been advertised. PDC is currently available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except from a few small relay transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC service only in a very few areas. All channels intend to offer this service in due course. Check your TV programme listing guide for latest information. If the channel you intend to record does not offer a PDC service your recorder will not start recording if PDC has been selected. Be sure to set PDC to "OFF" if PDC is not available on your selected channel. (☞ step 8 in the left column). NOTES: ● After confirming all information is correct, press PROG or OK.

NOTES: ● ● The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of the tape, then begins recording. NOTES: ● ● ● ● ● The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP modes only after a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated. It does not work during recording. The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress (☞ pg. 22). In the case of timer recording, the B.E.S.T. system works before recording is initiated. Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled. The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is reperformed. Pressing the recorder's RECORD button while "BEST" is displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording (☞ pg. 11). ATTENTION Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after RECORD and PLAY on the remote are pressed, or RECORD on the recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the following steps: 1) Press and hold PAUSE and press RECORD to engage the RECORD PAUSE mode. ● The recorder then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, reenters RECORD PAUSE. 2) Press PLAY when you are ready to start recording. ● If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin recording immediately, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF” in step 4 on page 18. ● ● When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON”, it is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as well. When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another video recorder, or when using this recorder as the player for editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference by performing steps 1 through 5 on page 18. "BEST" only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even though it doesn't appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is operative. 20 ADVANCED OPERATIONS (cont.)

If you can receive NICAM TV broadcasts in your area, this recorder can record them independently of the TV set and play them back through the connected stereo system. When listening to sound through the connected stereo system, turn the TV's volume down completely. This recorder has a dynamic range of more than 80 dB with regards to its Hi-Fi audio capability. It is recommended that you check the maximum level if you are going to listen to the Hi-Fi audio signals through a stereo amplifier. A sudden surge in the input level to the speakers may damage them. Some speakers and televisions are specially shielded to prevent television interference. If both are of the non-shielded type, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV set as this can adversely affect the video playback picture. 30 SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS Video Channel Set Video Channel (RF Output Channel) is the channel on which your TV receives picture and sound signals from the video recorder through the RF cable.
