Types of Recordings
Your VCR provides different recording features. The following sections describe these features.
Recording Speeds

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 in this speed.
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 in this speed.
