To Suspend the Timer Recording Standby Mode
When you want to use the VCR for playback, normal recording or some other operation before the programmed timer recording will be performed, you can temporarily suspend the timer recording standby mode by pressing the TIMER (REC) button A so that the [Á] indication on the VCR display disappears.
However, after you have finished using the VCR, be sure to reactivate the timer recording standby mode by pressing the TIMER (REC) button A again otherwise the programmed timer recording will not be performed.

Programming a Timer Recording of a TV Programme Until its End
(Tape Speed Auto Change Function )
If the VCR determines that the remaining tape time is insufficient to record the programme to its end during a timer recording performed in the SP mode, this function automatically changes the tape speed to ensure that the whole programme will be recorded.
The tape speed will change as follows.
PAL system: SP ) LP
NTSC system: SP ) EP
–This function cannot change the recording speed to the EP mode for PAL system.
Depending on the remaining tape length, recording may be performed in the LP (EP) mode from the start. However, if the remaining tape time is still not sufficient in this case, the programme cannot be recorded to the end.
–The tape length must be set correctly. (See page 13.)
–Some tapes may not work correctly.
–If the recording speed changes from SP to LP during a timer recording, some brief picture distortion occurs at that point.
To Activate the Tape Speed Auto Change Function:
Press the SPEED button B to select [A].
