Auto SP→EP Timer
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 | Approximately 30 minutes |
SP mode | EP mode |
Total 140 minutes
Make sure you set "AUTO SP→EP TIMER" to “ON” at the Function screen before the timer recording starts.
