Auto SP LP Timer

If, when timer-recording in SP mode, there is not enough tape to
record the entire programme, the recorder automatically
switches to LP mode to allow complete recording.
For Example . . .
Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-
minute tape
Approximately 150 minutes
SP mode
Total 210 minutes
Make sure you set "AUTO SP LP TIMER" to "ON" at the Mode
Set screen before the timer-recording starts.

NOTES:
The Auto SP LP Timer feature is not available during ITR
(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work
properly with any tapes longer than E-180 or with some tapes
of shorter lengths.
If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more
programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may
not fit on the tape if you set "AUTO SP LP TIMER" to "ON". In
this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape
speed manually during timer programming.
In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this
feature may leave a short non-recorded section at the end of
the tape.
There may be some picture noise and sound disturbance at
the point on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to
LP mode.
If you perform timer recording with both PDC and the Auto
SP LP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond its
originally scheduled length, there may be times when the
programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.
Approximately 60 minutes
