Your VCR provides different recording options. These options are explained in this section of the manual.
Recording Speeds
Press
SPEED
on the remote to select a recording speed (SP or SLP). The speed you
select appears on the TV screen. Tapes recorded in LP can be played in this VCR.
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, frame advance, slow motion, and picture search work
well in this speed.
SLP (Super Long Play)
gives three times the recording time of tapes recorded in
SP. Special effects such as pause, frame advance, slow motion, and picture search
work well in this speed.
