RECORDING
This function allows you to fully utilize the available tape length for timer recording. The
VCR calculates the remaining tape amount and then adjusts the tape speed from SP to
SLP as needed.
If it is suspected that the end of the tape will be reached before the reserved program
ends (as long as SP mode is kept all the way), set recording mode to AUTO. This
function is available only with Program No. 1.
The AUTO mode starts recording in SP mode. The internal circuit compares the rest of
the program against the available tape length. If the internal circuit determines that the
available tape is not long enough to record the program in the SP mode, the Recording
mode is automatically changed to SLP mode. This will assure coverage of the desired
timer program before the end of the tape is reached.
See Diagram
Notes:
Set the tape remainder switch ("~T130" or "T140~") to the taped loaded.
Even if SLP mode is selected, just-in time recording cannot compensate for a tape length
which may be too short.
A momentary picture break up will occur at the point on the tape when the recording
speed changes form SP to SLP.
The displayed remaining tape running time may not always match the actual remaining
time on the tape (usually longer than the actual time). It is recommended to set the end of
the reserved recording time several minutes after the end of the TV program.
