Tape Speeds
This chart shows the recording/playback time for three types
of video cassettes (T160, T120, and T60). There are three
playback speeds: SP, LP, and SLP. A tape will play only in the
speed in which it was recorded. When recording, you can
change the tape speed using the SPEED button. You cannot
record in LP speed.
The slower the speed, the more programming you can fit on
the tape. SLP is the slowest speed.
