Programming a Timer Recording of a TV Programme Until its End (Rec Mode Auto Change Function)
If the VCR determines that the remaining tape time is insufficient to record the programme to its end during a timer recording performed in the SP mode, this function automatically changes the Rec Mode to ensure that the whole programme will be recorded. The Rec Mode will change as follows: PAL system: NTSC system: SP # LP SP # EP
* This function cannot change the recording mode to the EP mode for PAL system. Depending on the remaining tape length, recording may be performed in the LP (EP) mode from the start. However, if the remaining tape time is still not sufficient in this case, the programme cannot be recorded to the end. The tape length must be set correctly. (See page 8.) Some tapes may not work correctly. If the recording mode changes from SP to LP during a timer recording, some brief picture distortion occurs at that point. To Activate the Rec Mode Auto Change Function: Press [REC MODE] (33) to select [A].
