Timer recording
ON : The station transmits VPS/PDC signals. You must set the timer to the
time specified in the TV magazines. Use the special VPS time the TV
magazine may indicate.
- - - : The station does not transmit VPS/PDC signals. Try to set the start and
stop times such that the entire film can be recorded even if a programme
begins or ends earlier or later than planned.
Automatic selectionSP/LP
If, at the beginning of a timer programme, there is not enough tape remain
to complete it, the SP/LP function will automatically run the tape at LP speed.
This ensures that the entire programme will be recorded. If the LP mode is
not enough to 'stretch' the remaining tape to fit you will not be able to record
all of the TV programmes.
DIt is not possible to automatically activate the EP mode.
A:
This setting defines how a special signal controls the beginning and end of
a recording session. If a TV programme begins or ends earlier or later than
planned, this function synchronises the beginning and end of the recording
session with the actual beginning and end of the TV programme.
