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
SP mode
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 tape 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 tape speed switches
from SP to EP mode on the tape.
This function is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and will not
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", you can automatically correct vertical
vibrations in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on
another VCR.
NOTES:
When you finish viewing a tape, be sure to set this function to "OFF".
Regardless of the setting, this function has no effect during recording and during
special effects playback.
The on-screen display may jitter vertically when this function is set to "ON".
To watch recordings with close-caption, set this function to "OFF".
When this function is set to "ON", the TV screen becomes all blue in the
following cases:
When receiving a channel not in use.
When stopping playback.
NOTE:
When you want to receive an unstable channel with poor signals, set this function
to "OFF".
