When this function is set to "ON", the VCR automatically switches to EP mode to
allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire program
while timer-recording in SP mode.
For Example . . .
Recording a program of 140 minutes in length onto a 120-minute tape
Approximately 110 minutes
Make sure you set this function to "ON" before the timer-recording starts.
NOTES:
If you have programed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second program and
those thereafter may not fit on the tape with this function set to "ON". In this case, do not use
this function, but change the recording speed manually during timer programing.
In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this function may leave a slight non-
recorded portion at the end of the tape.
There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the recording speed switches from SP
to EP mode on the tape.
This function is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and will work properly on
the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and T(ST)-120.
When this function is set to "ON":
The timer recording standby mode is automatically engaged when the VCR is turned
off. It is temporarily canceled when the VCR is turned on. You do not have to press
TIMER (‰) to engage or disengage the timer recording standby mode.
When this function is set to "OFF":
You have to press TIMER (‰) to engage or disengage the timer recording standby
mode.
When this function is set to "ON", various VCR status information (on-screen display)
appears on the screen.
NOTES:
When you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing a tape, be sure to set this function to
"OFF"; otherwise, the VCR status information (on-screen display) will be recorded on the
edited tape.
If you select a channel on which no signal is received, the channel number is displayed
regardless of this function setting.
When this function is set to "ON", the VCR changes the screen into the gray back
screen automatically after/while the input signals do not come into.
When this function is set to "ON", you can reduce the power consumption. While the
VCR is turned off, the front display panel does not show the clock.
When this function is set to "ON", an i.LINK device cannot be recognized. As a
result, it is not possible to record a program using the digital tuner's* timer function.
In addition the device does not pass along data if it is in a branched connection.
* For details of a digital tuner, refer to the instruction manual of the digital tuner.
NOTE:
It takes some time until VCR completes its set up when you turn on the VCR.
* The default setting is bold in the table below.
