Auto SP→LP 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.
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 (or EP)

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.
