NOTES: The Auto SPLP 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 SPLP 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 SPLP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety. 28 ADVANCED OPERATIONS (cont. ) Repeat Playback Your video recorder can automatically play back the whole tape 50 times repeatedly. 1 4 7 2 5 8 0 3 2 6 9 4 1 FF START PLAYBACK Press PLAY. 1 ? 2 3 ACTIVATE REPEAT PLAYBACK Press PLAY and hold for over 5 seconds, then release.
