Tape Speeds
This chart shows the recording/playback time for three types of video cassettes (T160, T120, and T60). There are three playback speeds: SP, LP, and SLP. A tape will play only in the speed in which it was recorded. When recording, you can change the tape speed using the SPEED button. You cannot record in LP speed.
The slower the speed, the more programming you can fit on the tape. SLP is the slowest speed.

Helpful Hints
•You cannot record one channel while watching another.
•Recording options are on pages 25-30.
•If you pause a recording for more than five minutes, the TV/VCR will switch to Stop mode automatically to protect the video cassette tape from damage.
•You can change the tape speed with the SPEED button while a recording is in progress, but some distortion may appear on the tape.
