Recording Features
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.
Recording Pause
This feature allows you to prevent recording short passages of unwanted
material.
■ Press PAUSE during recording to stop and start recording.
RECP appears in the VCRÕs display panel.
■ The VCR will automatically switch from pause to stop after a few minutes.
