In step 2 above, press v to select “Auto”. When you are recording a programme in the SP mode and the remaining tape length becomes shorter than the recording time, the recording tape speed is automatically changed to the LP mode. Note that some noise will appear on the picture when the tape speed is changed. To operate this function correctly, the “Tape Select” setting in the “VIDEO SETUP” menu must be accurate (see page 98).
Timer recording with VPS/PDC signals
Some broadcast systems transmit VPS or PDC signals with their TV programmes. These signals ensure that your timer recordings are made regardless of broadcast delays, early starts, or broadcast interruptions.
To use the VPS/PDC function, set “V/P” to “On” in step 2 above. You can also use the VPS/PDC function for a source connected to one or more of the LINE inputs.
Tips
•To set the line input video source, you can also use the INPUT SELECT button.
•To check, change, or cancel the programme setting, see “Checking/changing/cancelling timer settings” on page 50.
Notes
•When setting the timer with VPS/PDC* signals, enter the start times exactly as indicated in the TV programme guide. Otherwise, the VPS/PDC function* will not work.
•If the VPS/PDC signal is too weak or the broadcasting station failed to transmit VPS/PDC signals, the VCR will start recording at the set time without using the VPS/PDC function*.
•The 
indicator flashes in the display window when you press ?/1 with no tape inserted.
•The VPS/PDC function* is automatically set to off for the timer recording of a satellite programme.
