Programming a Timer Recording of a TV
Programme Until its End
(Tape Speed Auto Change Function)
If the VCR determines that the remaining tape time is
insufficient to record the programme to its end during a timer
recording performed in the SP mode, this function
automatically changes the tape speed to ensure that the
whole programme will be recorded.
The tape speed will change as follows:
PAL system: SP # LP
NTSC system: SP # EP
• This function cannot change the recording speed to the
EP mode for PAL system.
Depending on the remaining tape length, recording may be
performed in the LP (EP) mode from the start. However, if the
remaining tape time is still not sufficient in this case, the
programme cannot be recorded to the end.
The tape length must be set correctly. (See page 10.)
Some tapes may not work correctly.
If the recording speed changes from SP to LP during a timer
recording, some brief picture distortion occurs at that point.
To Activate the Tape Speed Auto Change Function:
Press [SPEED]
(20) to select [A].
• Every time you press [SPEED] (20), the indication changes
in the following order:
PAL system: SP # LP # EP # A # SP
NTSC system: SP # EP # A # SP
