Ensuring that a TV Programme Will Be
Recorded until Its End
(Auto SP/LP Change Function)
If, at the start of a timer recording, the VCR determines that
the remaining tape time is insufficient to record the whole
programme, the Auto SP/LP Change function automatically
selects LP mode to ensure that the whole programme will be
recorded. However, if the remaining tape time is still not
sufficient even in the LP mode, the programme cannot be
recorded to its end.
≥ This function cannot change the recording speed to the
EP mode.
≥ If you programme a daily or weekly timer recording,
recording will be performed in the LP mode from the start
regardless of the remaining tape time.
≥ In case of a timer recording programmed with the VPS/PDC
function, if the TV programme continues past the
programmed ending time, the VCR automatically switches
over to the LP mode at that moment. However, in some
cases it may not be possible to record the programme until
its end.
≥ Use a video cassette on which a few minutes more than the
total length of programmed timer recordings remain,
otherwise the programmed timer recordings may be
performed in the LP mode.
≥ Be careful that the broadcast times of the TV programmes
set for timer recording do not overlap, otherwise the
programmed timer recordings may be performed in the LP
mode.
≥ If the recording speed changes from SP to LP during a
timer recording, some brief picture distortion occurs at that
point.
Condition for correct operation of the Auto SP/LP Change
function:
≥ The tape length of the inserted cassette must be set
correctly. (See page 48.)
To Activate the Auto SP/LP Change Function:
In operation step 6 when programming a timer recording with
the On Screen Display (see page 21), or in operation step 4
when programming with the ShowView number
(see page 22), press the SP/LP button E to select “A”.
≥ When you press this button
repeatedly, the indication changes
in the following order:
Setting for Control of the Recording
Starting and Ending Time by Special Signal
Included in the Broadcasting Signal
(VPS/PDC Function)
VPS stands for Video Programme System.
PDC stands for Programme Delivery Control.
If a TV programme, for example a football game runs longer
than scheduled, is shortened or starts earlier or later, this
function synchronises the recording start and stop with the
actual broadcasting start and stop of the TV programme.
Conditions for correct operation of the VPS/PDC function:
≥ “ON” must be displayed under “VPS/PDC” on the On
Screen Display.
≥ The TV station must broadcast VPS/PDC signals.
≥ The programme starting time must be set correctly to the
starting time listed in the newspaper/magazine.
To Activate the VPS/PDC Function:
In operation step 7 when
programming a timer recording with
the On Screen Display (see page 21),
or in operation step 4 when
programming with the ShowView number (see page 22),
press the Cursor buttons (3421) R to make the ON
indication appear.
See page 53 for details.
