Recording Speeds

Press SPEED to select a recording speed.

•SP (Standard Play) gives the best quality recording. That is why most pre-recorded, rental tapes are recorded in SP. Fewer programs can be recorded on the tape. Special effects in playback are not recommended in SP.

•SLP (Super Long Play) gives three times the recording time of tapes recorded in SP. Special effects such as pause and picture search work best in this speed.

Recording Pause

This feature allows you to prevent recording short passages of unwanted material.

•Press PAUSE during recording to stop and start recording.

The TV/VCR will automatically switch from pause to stop after a few minutes to prevent tape wear.
