— 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
