8SUPERIMPOSE — AUTO / OFF

When this function is set to “AUTO”, various operational indicators appear on the TV screen. Messages appear in the selected language. ( pg. 19)

NOTES:

●Even when “SUPERIMPOSE” is set to “OFF”, you can display the various operational indicators by pressing ON SCREEN. To clear the operational indicators, press ON SCREEN again.

●When you use this unit as the source player for editing, be sure to set “SUPERIMPOSE” to “OFF” before starting.

●During playback, the operation mode indicators may be disturbed depending on the type of tape being used.

8AUTO SP]EP TIMER — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, the unit automatically switches to EP mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire program while timer-recording in SP mode.

For Example:

Recording a program of 140 minutes in length onto a 120-minute tape

Approximately 110 minutes

Approximately 30 minutes

SP mode

EP mode

 

 

Total 140 minutes

Make sure you set this function to “ON”, before the timer-recording starts.

NOTES:

●If you have programed the unit to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second program and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO SP]EP TIMER” to “ON”. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually during timer programing.

●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 unit switches from SP to EP mode.

●The Auto SP]EP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work properly on the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and T(ST)-120
