SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)

 

 

 

 

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

 

 

 

 

 

8 AUTO SP]EP TIMER

 

When this function is set to “ON”, the unit automatically switches to EP mode

ON

 

to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire

OFF

 

program while timer-recording in SP mode.

 

 

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 this function to “ON”, before the timer-recording starts.

 

 

NOTES:

 

 

 

 

● If you have programed the unit to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second

 

 

program and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO SP]EP TIMER”

 

 

to “ON”. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed

 

 

manually during timer programing.

 

 

● 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 EP mode.

 

 

 

 

● The Auto SP]EP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording),

 

 

and the feature will not work properly on the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60,

 

 

T(ST)-90, and T(ST)-120

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8 VIDEO STABILIZER

 

When this function is set to “ON”, you can automatically correct vertical

ON

 

vibration in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on

OFF

 

another recorder. If the vertical vibration does not improve, regardless of this

 

 

setting, try Manual Tracking ( pg. 33). However, this function might have no

 

 

effect, depending on the recording condition of the tape.

 

 

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”.

 

 

 

 

 

8 BLUE BACK

 

When this function is set to “ON”, the TV screen becomes all blue when

ON

 

receiving a channel not in use.

 

 

OFF

 

NOTE:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you want to receive an unstable channel with poor signals, set this function to

 

 

“OFF”.
