Lining up recordings (assemble cut)

When you add a further recording to a cassette, which already has a recording on it, a short blank (flicker) can appear between the old and the new recording or the picture itself can flicker. To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as follows:

1Find the tape position of the old recording where you want to insert the new recording.

2Look at the last minute of the old recording (playback).

3Press STOP h on the remote control at the tape position where the new recording is to go. 9 ' will appear on the display.

4Now start recording as usual by pressing RECORD/OTR n on the remote control.

5Stop recording with STOP h .

Selecting the recording speed (SP or LP)

You can reduce the recording speed by half. This makes it possible to record, for example, eight-hours instead of four-hours on an 'E240' (four-hour) cassette.

For playback, the correct recording speed will automatically be selected.

2Press MENU on the remote control. The main menu will appear.

'SP'/'LP' AUTO'

'SP': StandardPlay (normal recording speed) offers the usual first-class picture quality.

'LP': LongPlay (half recording speed, double recording time). 8 hours can be recorded on a 4 hour cassette (E240) with a somewhat reduced picture quality.

'AUTO': AUTOmatic Long Play. If there is not enough space on the tape to record a programmed recording in standard speed, the recording will automatically be made in 'LP' (Longplay). Otherwise, the recording speed will be 'SP' (Standardplay).
