If, when recording in SP mode, there is not enough tape to record the entire program, the VCR automatically switches to EP mode to allow complete recording. This feature is especially handy when recording a program of more than 2 hours in length.

For Example . . .

Recording a program of 140 minutes in length onto a 120- minute tape

Approximately 110 minutes

SP mode

Total 140 minutes

Make sure you set "AUTO SPEP TIMER" to “ON” at the Function screen before the timer recording starts.

NOTES:

If you have programmed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more

programs, the second program and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set the Auto SPEP Timer mode 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 at the point on the tape where the VCR switches from SP to EP mode.

The Auto SPEP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will work with the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and T(ST)-120.
