RECORDING

There are three ways to record using your VCR

—immediate recording, automatic timer re- cording, and dubbing.

Your VCR automatically records the audio sig- nal and adjusts the sound level while it records.

The video cassette you use for recording must have the erase-protection tab in place. If the tab is removed, the cassette automatically ejects if you try to record on it (see “Erase Pro- tection” on Page 26).

RECORDING SPEEDS

You can select one of three VHS recording/ playback speeds: SP (standard play), LP (long play), and EP (super long play).

The following chart shows the maximum re- cording times for different-length tapes at the recording speeds.

SP is the fastest recording speed and results in the highest quality picture. LP and EP record more slowly and use less tape, but the picture quality is not as high as a recording made at the SP speed.

ERASE PROTECTION

Video cassettes have an erase-protection tab to prevent accidental erasure of a tape. To pre- vent recording, break off the tab using a screw- driver. The cassette automatically ejects if you try to record on the tape.

TAPE SELECTION

The quality of tape you use greatly affects record/playback quality and the life of the VCR. Use only video cassettes that display the offi- cial (VHS) logo. High-grade tape has a better oxide coating that helps prevent dirty video heads and gives the best results.

Although T-160 video cassettes offer the long- est recording time, they contain thinner tape that is more likely to jam. We suggest you use T-120 or shorter length tape.

Tape

If you want to record on a video cassette that does not have the tab, put a piece of heavy plastic tape over the erase-protection tab hole.
