The maximum recording time of a T-160 tape in SLP speed is 8 hours (assuming you start at the beginning of the tape). A T-120 tape has a maximum of 6 hours recording time in SLP speed.

If the tape ends before the recording’s end time, the TV/VCR will stop recording, eject the tape, and turn itself off.
