● "NTSC→PAL" appears on the screen for about 5
seconds.
● Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place
black bars at the top and bottom of the 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.
Auto SP
→
LP Timer
If, when timer-recording in SP mode, there is not enough tape to
record the entire programme, the recorder automatically
switches to LP mode to allow complete recording.
For Example . . .
Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-
minute tape
NOTES:
●
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 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 short non-recorded section at the end of
the tape.
●
There may be some picture noise and sound disturbance at
the point on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to
LP mode.
●
If you perform timer recording with both 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.
