	NOTES:

	( pg. 10).
	● If “DIRECT REC” is set to “OFF”, the 7 button functions as described in “Basic
	Recording” ( pg. 23).
	● During the Direct Rec, “– –” appears on the front display panel.
	● When “DIRECT REC” is set to “ON”, if you press any button just after pressing 7 on
	the recorder (or 7 and 4 on the remote control), the recorder may not function
	properly.
8 AUTO SP]LP TIMER	When this function is set to “ON”, the recorder automatically switches to LP
ON	mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the
OFF	entire programme while timer-recording in SP mode.
	For Example . . .
	Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-minute tape
	Approximately 150 minutes	Approximately 60 minutes
	SP mode	LP mode
	Total 210	minutes
	Make sure you set this function to “ON”, before the timer-recording starts.

NOTES:

●If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO SP]LP TIMER” to “ON”. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually during timer programming.

●In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the tape.

●There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to LP mode.

●The Auto SP]LP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work properly with any tapes longer than E-180, or with some tapes of shorter lengths.

●If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the Auto SP]LP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.
