unwatchable. However, if you use a TV with a V-HOLD control, you can stop the
rolling by adjusting the V-HOLD control and watch the picture.
@Horizontal noise bars may appear on the screen during special effect playback
(video search, still,

Intelligent Timer Recording (JUST REC)
When the tape is expected to run out halfway during timer recording in the SP (standard play) mode
the mode will automatically change to the LP (long play) mode to prevent termination of recording.
This function works only when JUST REC mode on the MODE selection screen is set to ON.
For example:
l When a 120-minute programme is timer-recorded with a go-minute tape while the automatic select iz
set to LP mode as shown bellow:
r About 60 minutes l ,- About 30 minutes1
SP (standard play) mode
LP (long play) mode
Total: 120 minutes

l This function may not properly work for video tapes other than E60, E90, El 80 and E240.
l This tape may not be completely used up.
l When more than one programme is set on the timer, the automatic recording function will work for the length o
each timer-set programme, but not for the total length of all programmes.
l When the LP mode is initially used for timer-recording a programme, if the tape is not long enough to record the
entire length of the programme, the programme will not be entirely recorded.
