NOTES:

●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 have programmed the recorder 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 short non-recorded section at the end of the tape.

●There may be some picture noise and sound disturbance at the point on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to LP mode.

●If you perform timer recording with both 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.
