NOTES: 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 slight non-recorded section at the end of the tape. There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to LP mode. 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.
