8 AUTO SP]LP TIMER

 

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

ON

 

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

OFF

 

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

minutes

 

 

 

Make 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.

 

 

 

 

● If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the Auto SP]LP Timer

 

 

activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, there

 

 

may be times when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.
