8AUTO SP]LP TIMER — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON,” the unit 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 minutesMake sure you set this function to “ON,” before the timer- recording starts.

NOTES:

If you have programmed the unit to timer-record 2 or more programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO SP]LP TIMER” 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 and sound disturbance at the point on the tape where the unit switches from SP to LP mode.

The Auto SP]LP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work properly with any tapes longer than E-180, or with some tapes of shorter lengths.

8VIDEO STABILIZER — ON / OFF

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

NOTES:

When you finish viewing a tape, be sure to set this function to “OFF.”

Regardless of the setting, this function has no effect during recording and during special effects playback.

The on-screen display may jitter vertically when this function is set to “ON.”To watch recordings with close-caption, set this function to “OFF.”

8AUTO POWER OFF — 3H / OFF

When this function is set to “3H,” the unit is turned off automatically if no operation is done within 3 hours. “AUTO POWER OFF IN 3 MIN” appears on the screen 3 minutes before the unit is turned off.
