Auto Tape Speed Select
★
(SV-645X/SV-641X/SV-445G/SV-441G Only)
The VCR’s “Auto Tape Speed Select” function compares
the duration of the timer recording to the actual recording
time remaining on the tape loaded. If there is insufficient
tape to complete a timer recording in AUTO mode, the
VCR automatically switches to LP mode to record the
whole programme.
E.g.
If there is a one hour Timer Recording in AUTO
mode to be started, and only 40 minutes tape
remaining, the VCR will record in SP for 20
minutes and switch to complete the remaining 40
minutes in LP mode.
