Using the Recording Features

Recording Speeds

Press SPEED on the remote to select a recording speed (SP, LP, or SLP). The speed you select appears on the TV screen and in the VCRÕs display panel. The VCR automatically selects the playback speed (SP, LP, or SLP).

Cassette	Recording Time
Type	SP	LP	SLP
T120	2Hr	4Hr	6Hr
T160	2Hr 40Min	5Hr 20Min	8Hr

SP (Standard Play) gives the best quality recording. That 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 SP.

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 SLP.

Recording Pause

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

Press PAUSE during recording to stop and start recording.

REC P appears in the VCRÕs display panel.

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