AUTO SP/LP TIMER

33

Auto SP/LP Timer

If, when recording in SP mode, there is not enough tape to record the entire programme, the recorder automatically switches to LP mode to allow complete recording.

	ENGAGE AUTO SP/LP
1	TIMER
	Press AUTO SP/LP TIMER on the recorder front panel.
	The button lights “green”.
	For Example . . .
	Recording a program 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 press AUTO SP/LP TIMER before performing timer programming.

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 as well as some tapes of shorter lengths.

●Even if, in step 1, you press AUTO SP/LP TIMER and it lights “green”, that doesn’t mean that the recorder will automati- cally change from SP to LP mode during the course of the recording. Watch the tape later to confirm.

●If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you engage the Auto SP/LP Timer mode. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually during timer programming.

●There may be some noise 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.

PDC Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) is a service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals control your video recorder and have precedence over advertised times you preset in the timer. This means that your recorder will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.

To Use PDC Service . . .

The default setting for PDC is "ON". To cancel PDC, press : PDC (NUMBER key “7”) so that "OFF" is displayed during Video Plus+ or regular timer programming.

NOTES:

●When you manually enter programmes (regular timer programming), set the start time (PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.

●PDC Recording is also possible when a satellite tuner or a cable box is connected to AV2 IN on your recorder.

●When PDC recording is performed, the Instant ReView programme readout number may not match the actual number of programmes that have been timer-recorded (☞ pg. 14).
