Timer Recording
Auto speed programming
Use auto speed programming if you want to record as much of the program as possible in standard play (SP) speed, but you want the VCR to automatically switch to extended play (EP) if there is not enough tape left.
Auto speed programming is only available for one program. In the first slot, the recording speed default is AUTO.
Make sure that the Tape video function matches the length of tape you are using. See Selecting and adjusting the audio and video functions on page 25.
At the point where the recording mode changes from standard play (SP) to extended play (EP), some noise may be in the picture or sound when playing the tape.
Program caution
If your VCR is set to record, but the power is still ON within 3 minutes before timer recording starts, this screen will appear to remind you to turn off the VCR.
If the VCR is still turned on 12 seconds before the start time of the recording, that timer recording will be cancelled.
TV programs that end on the day after
If you want to start the recording at 11:00 PM and end it at 2:00 AM the next day, simply set the start time to 11:00 PM on the recording start day and the end time to 2:00 AM. There is no need to change the day of the week.
