AUTO SP
]
LP TIMER
ON
OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, the recorder automatically switches to LP
mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the
entire programme while timer-recording in SP mode.
For Example . . .
Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-minute tape
Make sure you set this function to “ON”, before the timer-recording starts.
NOTES:
● If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programmes, the
second programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO
SP
] LP TIMER” to “ON”. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the
tape speed manually during timer programming.
● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this feature may leave a slight
non-recorded section at the end of the tape.
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the tape where the
recorder switches from SP to LP mode.
● The Auto SP
] LP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording),
and the feature will not work properly with any tapes longer than E-180, or with some
tapes of shorter lengths.
● If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the Auto SP
] LP Timer
activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, there may
be times when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

COLOUR SYSTEM
PAL/NTSC
MESECAM
You can play back PAL, NTSC and MESECAM tapes, or record PAL and SECAM*
signals on this recorder. Select the appropriate colour system.
PAL/NTSC: To record PAL signals, or play back a PAL or NTSC tape.
MESECAM: To record SECAM signals, or play back a MESECAM tape.
* SECAM signals will be recorded as MESECAM on this recorder; MESECAM is the
designation for tapes with SECAM signals that have been recorded on a
MESECAM-compatible PAL video cassette recorder.
NOTES:
● It is not possible to record in S-VHS if “MESECAM” is selected. The recording mode is
forced to change to VHS.
● If “MESECAM” is selected when the tape speed is set to EP mode, the tape speed will be
forced to change to LP mode.
● It is not possible to select EP mode if “MESECAM” is selected.
About NTSC Playback
● Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of the
TV screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of either the video recorder or the TV.
● The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using the V-HOLD control
found on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD
control.)
● The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.
● During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there
may be a loss of colour.
● Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of superimposed displays
may be cut off during NTSC playback.
