PROG. NAVIGATION — ON / OFF

When you record a TV programme with this recorder, the recorder automatically stores in its memory the recording date, start time and station name. You can store these information for up to 8 programmes on one cassette. At maximum, information for 10 tapes can be stored. You can also enter the programme title when performing “G-CODETM/SHOWVIEWTMTimer Programming” ( 11) or “Express Timer Programming” ( 11). It is possible to store these information only when “PROG. NAVIGATION” is set to “ON” (default setting).

Set “PROG. NAVIGATION” to “OFF” if you don’t want to record information on the programmes.

AUTO SP]LP TIMER — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, the recorder automatically switches to LP mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the 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

NOTES:

●If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programmes, do not use this function, but change the tape speed manually during timer programming.

●There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the tape speed switches from SP to LP mode on the tape.

●This function is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and 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 this function and VPS/ PDC activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, sometimes the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

VIDEO STABILIZER — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, you can automatically correct vertical vibrations in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on another recorder.

To watch recordings with close-caption or when you finish viewing a tape, set this function to “OFF”.

S-VHS — 0N / OFF

You can determine which recording mode — either S-VHS mode or VHS mode — is used for recording on S-VHS tapes.

●When this function is set to “ON”, you can record on S-VHS tapes with S-VHS picture quality.

●When this function is set to “OFF”, you can record on S-VHS tapes with VHS picture quality.

NOTES:

●S-VHS mode allows you to make high quality video recordings with horizontal resolution of 400 lines, comparing with the 230 lines of resolution of conventional VHS recordings. To achieve the highest quality picture we recommended to record in S-VHS mode. (But remember that a conventional VHS recorder without SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS mode.

●S-VHS setting does not affect recording on VHS tapes.

Recording on VHS tapes is always performed in VHS mode except when using S-VHS ET mode ( 9).
