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 exceeds the published times.
The station must be transmitting PDC and the exact time must be set for PDC to work.
The DVD Recorder 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 DVD Recorder before it becomes aware of this. PDC transmissions are not
currently nation-wide so please check with your local broadcaster for more information.
