To use the Auto Tape Speed function
When you are recording a program in the SP mode and the remaining tape becomes shorter than the recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed to the EP mode.

To operate this function, set “Tape select” in the ADVANCED OPTIONS menu correctly (page 69).

•To check, change or cancel the program setting, see “Checking/changing/canceling timer settings” on page 63.
Note
•If the VCR does not accept the PlusCode number, this means that:
