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
