<Precaution for STILL TIMER item setting>
The cumulative total standby time passed in the same
location increases at such times when the same material is
repeatedly used as is the case when programs are
transmitted, for example.
To protect the tape, it is recommended to set the standby
time at the same position as short as possible.
