Ensuring that a TV Programme Will Be Recorded until Its End

(Auto SP/LP Change Function)

If, at the start of a timer recording, the VCR determines that the remaining tape time is insufficient to record the whole programme, the Auto SP/LP Change function automatically selects LP mode to ensure that the whole programme will be recorded. However, if the remaining tape time is still not sufficient even in the LP mode, the programme cannot be recorded to its end.

This function cannot change the recording speed to the EP mode.

If you programme a daily or weekly timer recording, recording will be performed in the LP mode from the start regardless of the remaining tape time.

In case of a timer recording programmed with the VPS/PDC function, if the TV programme continues past the programmed ending time, the VCR automatically switches over to the LP mode at that moment. However, in some cases it may not be possible to record the programme until its end.

Use a video cassette on which a few minutes more than the total length of programmed timer recordings remain, otherwise the programmed timer recordings may be performed in the LP mode.

Be careful that the broadcast times of the TV programmes set for timer recording do not overlap, otherwise the programmed timer recordings may be performed in the LP mode.

If the recording speed changes from SP to LP during a timer recording, some brief picture distortion occurs at that point.

Condition for correct operation of the Auto SP/LP Change function:

The tape length of the inserted cassette must be set correctly. (See page 48.)

To Activate the Auto SP/LP Change Function:

In operation step 6 when programming a timer recording with the On Screen Display (see page 21), or in operation step 4 when programming with the ShowView number

(see page 22), press the SP/LP button E to select “A”.

Setting for Control of the Recording Starting and Ending Time by Special Signal Included in the Broadcasting Signal (VPS/PDC Function)

VPS stands for Video Programme System. PDC stands for Programme Delivery Control.

If a TV programme, for example a football game runs longer than scheduled, is shortened or starts earlier or later, this function synchronises the recording start and stop with the actual broadcasting start and stop of the TV programme.

Conditions for correct operation of the VPS/PDC function: “ON” must be displayed under “VPS/PDC” on the On

Screen Display.

The TV station must broadcast VPS/PDC signals.

The programme starting time must be set correctly to the

starting time listed in the newspaper/magazine.
