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 to allow complete recording.

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 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.

If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the Auto SPLP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times

when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.
