To use the Auto Tape Speed function
In step 3 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 SETUP” menu must be
accurate (see page 98).
Tips
• To set the line input video source, you can also use the INPUT SELECT button.
• To check, change, or cancel the programme setting, see “Checking/changing/cancelling timer
settings” on page 50.
Notes
• When setting the timer with PDC signals, enter the start times exactly as indicated in the TV
programme guide. Otherwise, the PDC function will not work.
• If the PDC signal is too weak or the broadcasting station failed to transmit PDC signals, the
VCR will start recording at the set time without using the PDC function.
• The indicator flashes in the display window when you press ?/1 with no tape inserted.
