SUPER Long Play: The Super Long play (EP mode) gives you the possibility to record three times longer than in Standard Play mode (SP). You can record up to 720 minutes = 12 hours on a 240 minutes cassette.

Jet Rewind: The Panasonic VCRs are equipped with a Jet Rewind Drive. To rewind a E180 cassette it will take only 60 seconds. For convenient winding and searching, the tape transportation speeding up extremely fast and is stopping softly in very short time.

if you insert a tape into your VCR, the TV in Standby mode will be switched automatically on.
External Link: With External Link the timer recording from the Satellite- or Digital Receiver is now very simple. Set your programme in the receiver and switch your VCR with the External Link function into the Standby mode and in the stated time the recording will start automatically.
NTSC Playback: In Europe colour system PAL is mainly used, but some other country using NTSC colour format. With the NTSC Playback function of the VCR you can watch a NTSC VHS tape

REC/OTR: When you want to record manually you can easily set the recording time to 30, 60, 120, 180 or 240 minutes, only by pressing the REC/OTR button repeatedly. The selected recording time will be displayed.
VPS/PDC: Some stations broadcasting this signal to control the start and stop time of a timer recorded programme. The VCR can interpret this signal to record correctly the beginning and end of the film also if the broadcasting time is shifted (for example if a live show is running longer than scheduled).
ShowView: The ShowView numbers make it extremely easy to set the VCR for timer recording. Only by typing the numeric code (for example out of the TV magazine) and the VCR will translate this number into the timer recording data. After the data are confirmed (by pressing the TIMER REC button) the recording is already programmed.
