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.

	Cassette type / Playback Time
Tape Speed	T160	T120		T60
SP(Standard Play)	2 hrs.	2	hrs.	1 hr.
	40 mins.
LP(Long Play)	5 hrs.	4	hrs.	2 hrs.
