Recording Speeds

Press SPEED on the remote to select a recording speed (SP 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.

SLP (Super Long Play)

gives three times the recording

time of tapes recorded in SP. Special effects, such as
pause and picture search, work well.
