Make sure you set this function to “ON”, before the timer-recording starts.

LP TIMER” to “ON”. In this case,
make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually during timer programming.

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.
