Auto SPLP Timer

If, when timer-recording in SP mode, there is not enough tape to record the entire programme, the recorder automatically switches to LP mode (with PAL broadcasts) or EP mode (with NTSC broadcasts) to allow complete recording.

For Example . . .

Recording a PAL-broadcast 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 "AUTO SPLP TIMER" to "ON" at the Mode Set screen 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 SPLP 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 (or EP) mode.

The Auto SPLP 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.
