Sony PAL NTSC 4.43 SLV-SE80UX Operating Instructions Manual page 47

Tips
• To set the programme position, you can also use the PROG +/– or programme
number buttons.
• To set the tape speed, you can also use the SP/LP button.
• When you are recording a programme in the SP mode and the remaining tape
becomes shorter than the recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed to
the LP mode. Note that some interference will appear on the picture at the point the
tape speed is changed. If you want to keep the same tape speed, set AUTO LONG
PLAY to OFF in the OPTIONS-1 menu (page 66).
• Even if you set TIMER OPTIONS to VIDEO PLUS+ in the OPTIONS-2 menu, you
can set the timer manually. Press MENU to select TIMER, then go to step 2.
Notes
• When setting the timer with VPS/PDC signals, enter the start and stop times
exactly as indicated in the TV programme guide, otherwise the VPS/PDC function
won't work.
• If the VPS/PDC signal is too weak or the broadcasting station failed to transmit
VPS/PDC signals, the VCR will start recording at the set time without using the
VPS/PDC function.
• The indicator flashes in the display window when you press I/u with no tape
inserted.
