Recording Speeds
Press SPEED to select a recording speed.
• SP (Standard Play) gives the best quality recording.
That is why most pre-recorded, rental tapes are
recorded in SP. Fewer programs can be recorded on
the tape. Special effects in playback are not
recommended in SP.
• SLP (Super Long Play) gives three times the recording
time of tapes recorded in SP. Special effects such as
pause and picture search work best in this speed.
Recording Pause
This feature allows you to prevent recording short
passages of unwanted material.
• Press PAUSE during recording to stop and start
recording.
The TV/VCR will automatically switch from pause to
stop after a few minutes to prevent tape wear.
