Recording Speeds

Press SPEED 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.

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 in this speed.

Recording Pause

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

Press PAUSE during recording to temporarily stop and start recording. While the tape is paused, the RECORD indicator on the front panel will flash. The TV/VCR will automatically switch from pause to stop after a few minutes to prevent tape wear.

Types of Recording

Your TV/VCR provides four ways to record programs:

Recording allows you to press one button to record a program.

One-Touch Recording (OTR) allows recording to start while a program is being watched. This feature automatically stops recording after a designated period of time.

Timer Recording program the VCR for a daily, weekly, or one time recording which will automatically start and stop at the times you set.

Copying and Editing Tapes allows you to record from another VCR or camcorder.
