SP (Standard Play) gives the best quality recording. This 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 this speed.

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 this speed.

Recording Pause

You can skip short passages of unwanted material and not record them.

Press PLAY.PAUSE on the VCR or PAUSE on the remote during recording to stop and start recording.

The record indicator (_) and the pause indicator (11)appear in the VCR's display panel.

The VCR automatically switches from pause to stop after a few minutes.

Flying Erase Head

A separate erase head is mounted on the spinning headwheel -- hence the term "flying". This lets you make clean edits without the glitches or rainbow noise that can appear when editing a tape.

Automatic Head Cleaner

The VCR has an automatic head cleaner system. When a cassette is inserted,

the head cleaning system is activated. This system minimizes the need for accessory cleaners or a visit to a Servicenter.
