8O.S.D.

ON
OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, various operational indicators appear on the
TV screen.
NOTES:
●When you use this unit as the source player for editing, be sure to set “O.S.D.” to “OFF”
before starting.
●During playback, the operation mode indicators may be disturbed depending on the
type of tape being used.

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
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.
