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.
