Recording Speeds

Press SPEED on the remote to select a recording speed.

•SP (Standard Play) gives the best quality recording; consequently, fewer programs can be recorded on the tape. Most pre-recorded, rental tapes are recorded in SP.

•EP (Extended Play) gives three times the recording time of tapes recorded in SP.
