When this function is set to AONB, the unit automatically switches to
LP mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to
record the entire programme while timer-recording in SP mode.
For Example:
Recording a programme of 140 minutes in length onto a 120-
minute tape.
Approximately 110 minutes
SP mode
Total 140 minutes
Make sure you set this function to AONB, before the timer-recording
starts.
NOTES:
●
If you have programmed the unit to timer-record 2 or more
programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may
not fit on the tape if you set AAUTO SPNLP TIMERB to AONB. 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 slight non-recorded section at the end of the tape.
●
There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on
the tape where the unit switches from SP to LP mode.
●
The Auto SPNLP Timer feature is not available during ITR
(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work properly
on the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and
T(ST)-120.

SECAM signals recorded on the HDD or DVD deck are played

About NTSC Playback
●
Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the
top and bottom of the TV screen. This is not a malfunction on the
part of either the unit or the TV.
●
The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using
the V-HOLD control found on some TVs. (This cannot be
corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)
●
The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.
●
During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will
be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.
●
Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of
superimposed displays may be cut off during NTSC playback.
