SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)

VCR SET UP 1 (cont.)

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

8 AUTO SP]LP TIMER

 

When this function is set to “ON”, the recorder automatically switches to LP

ON

 

mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the

OFF

 

entire programme while timer-recording in SP mode.

 

 

For Example . . .

 

 

 

 

Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-minute tape

 

 

Approximately 150 minutes

Approximately 60 minutes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SP mode

LP mode

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Total 210

minutes

 

 

 

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

 

 

NOTES:

 

 

 

 

If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programmes, the

 

 

second programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO

 

 

SP]LP TIMER” to “ON”. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the

 

 

tape speed manually during timer programming.

 

 

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

 

 

recorder switches from SP to LP mode.

 

 

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, or with some

 

 

tapes of shorter lengths.

 

 

 

 

If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the Auto SP]LP Timer

 

 

activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, there may

 

 

be times when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

 

 

 

 

 

8 COLOUR SYSTEM

 

You can play back PAL, NTSC and MESECAM tapes, or record PAL and SECAM*

PAL/NTSC

 

signals on this recorder. Select the appropriate colour system.

MESECAM

 

PAL/NTSC: To record PAL signals, or play back a PAL or NTSC tape.

 

 

MESECAM: To record SECAM signals, or play back a MESECAM tape.

 

 

* SECAM signals will be recorded as MESECAM on this recorder; MESECAM is the

 

 

designation for tapes with SECAM signals that have been recorded on a

 

 

MESECAM-compatible PAL video cassette recorder.

 

 

NOTES:

 

 

 

 

It is not possible to record in S-VHS if “MESECAM” is selected. The recording mode is

 

 

forced to change to VHS.

 

 

 

 

If “MESECAM” is selected when the tape speed is set to EP mode, the tape speed will be

 

 

forced to change to LP mode.

 

 

 

 

It is not possible to select EP mode if “MESECAM” is selected.

 

 

About NTSC Playback

 

 

 

 

Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of the

 

 

TV screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of either the video recorder or the TV.

 

 

The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using the V-HOLD control

 

 

found on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD

 

 

control.)

 

 

 

 

The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.

 

 

During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there

 

 

may be a loss of colour.

 

 

 

 

Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of superimposed displays

 

 

may be cut off during NTSC playback.
