To use the Auto Tape Speed function
In step 2 above, press v to select “AUTO.” When you are recording a programme in
the SP mode and the remaining tape length becomes shorter than the recording time,
the recording tape speed is automatically changed to the LP mode. Note that some
noise will appear on the picture when the tape speed is changed. To operate this
function correctly, the “Tape Select” setting in the “VIDEO FUNCTION SETUP”
menu must be accurate (see page 95).
Tips
• To set the line input video source, you can also use the INPUT SELECT button.
• Even if you set “TIMER METHOD” to “SHOWVIEW” in the “USER SET” menu, you can
set the timer manually. Press SET UP to select TIMER PROGRAMMING, then go to step 2.
• To check, change, or cancel the programme setting, see “Checking/changing/cancelling timer
settings” on page 51.
Notes
• When setting the timer with VPS/PDC signals, enter the start times exactly as indicated in the
TV programme guide. Otherwise, the VPS/PDC function will not work.
• If the VPS/PDC signal is too weak or the broadcasting station failed to transmit VPS/PDC
signals, the VCR will start recording at the set time without using the VPS/PDC function.
• The indicator flashes in the display window when you press ?/1 with no tape inserted.
