Smart Speed Record Function

When the Smart Speed Record function is set, the VCR automatically calculates the remaining time left on the tape during timer recording. If there is not enough time left for the program to be taped, the VCR switches the recording speed from SP (standard play) to EP (extended play) to enable the entire program to fit onto the remaining tape.

For example, when recording a 150-minute program onto a T-120 (120-minute) tape:

The recording will be done in SP mode for almost 105 minutes and in EP mode for the last 45 minutes.

NOTES:

œThis feature is not available during Quick Timer Recording (QTR).

œThis feature will not work properly on T-140 tapes or tapes longer than T-160. (The feature will work on T-160 tapes.)

œIf two or more timer recordings are programmed, all the programs may not fit onto a single tape. In that case, make sure the Smart Speed Record mode is not set, and select the recording speed manually.

œThere may be some interference in the image at the point where the speed has been switched.

œIf a program to be taped cannot fit into the remaining time left on the tape, even in EP mode, the program will not be recorded till the end.
