		complete it, the SP/LP function will automatically run the tape at LP speed.
		This ensures that the entire programme will be recorded. If the LP mode is
		not enough to 'stretch' the remaining tape to fit you will not be able to record
		all of the TV programme.

PDC function

Programme Delivery Control adjusts the start and stop time of a timer recording automatically to ensure the recording starts and finishes in line with the programme broadcast.

This is useful when a programme over-runs the published times.

The station must be transmitting PDC and the exact time must be set for PDC to work. The VCR detects whether a station is transmitting PDC only during the tuning process.

If PDC is introduced or discontinued by a station you will need to re-tune the VCR before it becomes aware of this.

PDC transmissions are not currently nation-wide so please check with your local broadcaster for more information.

PDC

ON : The station transmits PDC signals. You must set the start time to the time specified in the TV magazines.

-- - :The station does not transmit PDC signals. Try to set the start and

stop times such that the entire film can be recorded even if a programme begins or ends earlier or later than planned.
