Programming a Timer
Recording of a TV Program Until
its End
(Auto SP/EP Change Function )
If, during a timer recording performed in the SP
mode, the VCR determines that the remaining
tape time is insufficient to record the program
to its end, the Auto SP/EP Change function
automatically changes the tape speed to EP to
ensure that the whole program will be recorded.
Depending on the remaining tape length,
recording may be performed in the EP mode
from the start. However, if the remaining tape
time is still not sufficient in this case, the
program cannot be recorded to the end.
