LP Timer
(VHS Deck Only)
If, when timer-recording in SP mode, there is not enough tape to
record the entire programme, the recorder automatically
switches to LP mode to allow complete recording.
For Example . . .
Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-
minute tape
NOTES:
●
The Auto SP
→
LP Timer feature is not available during ITR
(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work
properly with any tapes longer than E-180 or with some tapes
of shorter lengths.
●
If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more
programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may
not fit on the tape if you set "AUTO SP
→
LP TIMER" to "ON". In
this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape
speed manually during timer programming.
●
In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this
feature may leave a short non-recorded section at the end of
the tape.
●
There may be some picture noise and sound disturbance at
the point on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to
LP mode.
●
If you perform timer recording with both PDC and the Auto
SP
→
LP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond its
originally scheduled length, there may be times when the
programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.
