Press the [SP/LP/EP] (21) to select [A].
•This function cannot change the recording speed to the EP mode.
•If the remaining tape time is still not sufficient even in the LP mode, the programme cannot be recorded to its end.
•If the recording speed changes from SP to LP during a timer recording, some brief picture distortion occurs at that point.
VPS/PDC Function
If a TV programme, for example a football game runs longer than scheduled, is shortened or starts earlier or later, this function synchronises the recording start and stop with the actual broadcasting start and stop of the TV programme.
Press the [Cursor] (38) 3421 to make the [ON] indication appear.
