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 SP→EP 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 SP→EP 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.
