AUTO SP

]

LP TIMER

— ON /

OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, the recorder automatically
switches to LP 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 PAL-broadcast programme of 210

minutes in length onto a 180-minute tape.

NOTES:

If you have programed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more
programs, do not use this function, but change the tape speed
manually during timer programing.

There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the tape
speed switches from SP to LP mode on the tape.

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.

controllable TVs, cable boxes, satellite receivers or DVD sets
listed below. Without setting, you can control a JVC TV.

NOTES:

Some unit’s brands have more than one code. If the unit does
not function with a specified code, try other codes.

Depending on the type of unit, some or all functions cannot be
operated using this remote control.

It’s not possible to operate a unit not equipped with a remote
sensor.

same time.
