JUST-IN TIME RECORDING
This function allows you to fully utilize the available tape length for timer recording. The VCR calculates the remaining tape amount and then adjusts the tape speed from SP to SLP as needed.
If it is suspected that the end of the tape will be reached before the reserved program ends (as long as SP mode is kept all the way), set recording mode to AUTO. This function is available only with Program No. 1 and Quick Set Program.
The auto mode starts recording in SP mode. The internal circuit compares the rest of the program against the available tape length. If the internal circuit determines that the available tape is not long enough to record the program in the SP mode, the Recording mode is automatically changed to SLP mode. This will assure coverage of the desired timer program before the end of the tape is reached.

Notes:
•Set the tape remainder switch ("~TI30" or "I'140J') to the tape loaded.
•Even if SLP mode is selected,
•A momentary picture break up will occur at the point on the tape when the recording speed changes from SP to SLP.
•The displayed remaining tape running time may not always match the actual remaining time on the tape (usually longer than the actual time). It is recommended to set the end of the reserved recording time several minutes after the end of the TV program.
