Philips VRA451, VRA651 owner manual Timer Recording Speed Setting

40 Timer Recording Speed Setting

If a program is recording in SP and there is not enough tape to record the entire program, the VCR automatically switches to SLP to allow complete recording if TIMER REC SPEED is set to AUTO. This feature is especially useful when you set a timer recording for a program that is more than two hours long.

For example, when you record a program of 140 minutes in length onto a 120-minute tape, the program is recorded in SP for about 110 minutes and in SLP for about 30 minutes.

Approximately 110 minutes	Approximately 30 minutes
