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.
