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
in SP.
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 SLP.
