Make sure you press AUTO SP/LP TIMER before performing timer programming.

NOTES:

●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 as well as some tapes of shorter lenghs.

●Even if, in step 1, you press AUTO SP/LP TIMER and it lights “orange”, that doesn’t mean that the recorder will automati- cally change from SP to LP mode during the course of the recording. Watch the tape later to confirm.

●If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you engage the Auto SP/LP Timer mode. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually during timer programming.

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