Tape Speeds
This chart shows the recording/playback time for three types of
video cassettes (T160, T120, and T60). There are three playback
speeds: SP, LP, and SLP. A tape will play only in the speed in which
it was recorded. When recording, you can change the tape speed
using the SPEED button. You cannot record in LP speed.
The slower the speed, the more programming you can fit on the
tape. SLP is the slowest speed.
