EP: Extended play, the slowest recording speed. Designed to store the maximum amount of program material on a single video cassette. There is some degradation in picture/audio quality.

Index Search: A feature of this VCR that automatically records an index each time recording begins. It helps you locate a particular segment of the tape quickly and easily.

OSD: On-screen display of information pertinent to the features of the VCR.

RF: Radio frequency, the composite audio/video signal supplied to a TV receiver (or other video component) by an antenna or cable system.

Safety tab: The plastic tab at the back of a video tape cassette which, when removed, prevents accidental erasure of a recording.
