Lining up recordings (assemble cut)

When you add a further recording to a cassette, which already has a recording on it, a short
blank (flicker) can appear between the old and the new recording or the picture itself can flicker.
To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as follows:
1
Find the tape position of the old recording where you want to insert
the new recording.
2
Look at the last minute of the old recording (playback).
3
Press STOP h on the remote control at the tape position where the
new recording is to go. 9 ' will appear on the display.
4
Now start recording as usual by pressing RECORD/OTR n on the
remote control.
5
Stop recording with STOP h .

Selecting the recording speed (SP or LP)

You can reduce the recording speed by half. This makes it possible to record, for example,
eight-hours instead of four-hours on an 'E240' (four-hour) cassette.
For playback, the correct recording speed will automatically be selected.

recorded on a 4 hour cassette (E240) with a somewhat reduced picture
quality.

record a programmed recording in standard speed, the recording will
automatically be made in 'LP' (Longplay). Otherwise, the recording speed will
be 'SP' (Standardplay).
