To use the Auto Tape Speed function
In step 2 above, press
v to select “AUTO.” When you are recording a 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 “Tape Select” setting in the “VIDEO FUNCTION SETUP”
menu must be accurate (see page 95).

• Even if you set “TIMER METHOD” to “SHOWVIEW” in the “USER SET” menu, you can
set the timer manually. Press SET UP to select TIMER PROGRAMMING, then go to step 2.

TV programme guide. Otherwise, the VPS/PDC function will not work.
