Recording Speeds
Press SPEED on the remote to select a recording speed (SP, LP, or SLP). The speed
you select appears on the TV screen and in the VCRÕs display panel. The VCR
automatically selects the playback speed (SP, LP, or SLP).
SP (Standard Play) gives the best quality recording.
That is why most prerecorded, rental tapes are
recorded in SP. Fewer programs can be recorded on
the tape. Special effects such as pause, slow motion,
picture search, and frame advance work well.
LP (Long Play) gives twice the recording time of tapes
recorded in SP. Special effects in playback are not
recommended in LP.
SLP (Super Long Play) gives three times the recording
time of tapes recorded in SP. Special effects such as
pause, slow motion, picture search, and frame
advance work well.
