Auto SP→EP Timer

If, when recording in SP mode, there is not enough tape to record the entire program, the VCR automatically switches to EP mode to allow complete recording. This feature is especially handy when recording a program of more than 2 hours in length.

Auto Timer

When the Auto Timer is set to "ON" the timer is automatically engaged when the VCR's power is turned off. It is automatically disengaged when the VCR is powered back on.

For Example . . .

Recording a program of 140 minutes in length onto a 120- minute tape

Approximately 110 minutes	Approximately 30 minutes

NOTES:

If you have programmed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second program and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set the Auto SP→EP Timer mode 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 at the point on the tape where the VCR switches from SP to EP mode.

The Auto SP→EP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will work with the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and T(ST)-120.
