programme in the SP mode and the remaining tape length becomes shorter
than the recording time, the recording tape speed is automatically changed to
the LP mode. Note that some noise will appear on the picture when the tape
speed is changed. To operate this function correctly, the
“SÉLECT.CASSETTE” setting in the RÉGLAGES UTILISATEUR menu
must be accurate (see page 69).
