Auto SP/EP mode

If, at the beginning of a scheduled recording, there is not enough
tape remaining to complete the recording, the SP/EP function will
automatically run the tape at EP speed for recording. This ensures
that the entire program will be recorded. If EP mode is not enough to
stretch the remaining tape to fit the whole program you will not be
able to record the whole TV program.
