Image figure of the hard disc

It is called ???Live Memory Playback??? to start playback of the programme being recorded, with a time-lag between a recording point and a playback point, as shown in the figure below.

Current playback point (Live Memory Playback)

Currently elapsed recording time

Not only can this unit play back a programme previously recorded while recording or timer recording another programme, but the unit also allows you to play back from the beginning of a programme while continuing to record the same programme.

Temporary recording for Live Memory

This unit automatically records the channel being received, within the specified range of time, to the reserved space on the hard disc. The time range can be set for 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours.

( pg. 70)

NOTE:

Previous temporary recordings will be overwritten since the unit is always recording the channel being received. Thus, it is not possible to play back TV programmes recorded beyond the specified range of time since they are already overwritten. To avoid this in order to save titles, perform normal recording ( pg. 40), timer recording ( pg. 46, 48), or Live Memory Recording ( pg. 45).

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 unit and have precedence over the advertised times which you may have preset into the timer. This means that your unit 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 in some 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 unit 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. (See step 8 on page 46.)

NOTES:

???Make sure to press VPS/PDC# after completing timer programming procedure to activate the VPS/PDC recording function.

???When you use Manual Timer Programming, set the start time (PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.

???PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to L-2 IN/DECODER connector on your unit.

???PDC recording is also possible via the L-1 IN/OUT connector.
