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
NOTES:
●
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 slight non-recorded section at the end of
the tape.
●
There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point
on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to LP mode.
●
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 perform timer recording with both VPS/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.
