SOFT

 

 

System.

SOFT:

playback).

 

 

 

 

Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes

 

 

SHARP:

containing a lot of noise.

 

 

Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with lots of

 

 

 

flat, same-coloured surfaces such as cartoons.

 

 

NOTES:

 

 

 

 

 

When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected mode will not change until you

 

 

select another mode.

 

 

 

 

When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes, be sure to select “AUTO” after you finish dubbing

 

 

the tapes.

 

 

 

 

 

When “B.E.S.T.” is “OFF”, “PICTURE CONTROL” switches automatically from “AUTO” to

 

 

“NORM”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8 AUTO SP]LP TIMER

 

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

ON

 

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

OFF

 

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 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 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

 

 

recorder 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.
