Recording Speeds
There are three VHS recording speeds: SP (standard play), LP (long play), and SLP (super long play).
SP (standard play) is the fastest recording speed and results in the highest quality picture, but uses the most tape.
LP (long play) records more slowly than SP but more quickly than SLP. LP provides a better quality picture than SLP and uses less tape than SP.
SLP (super long play) records more slowly and uses less tape, but the picture quality is not as high as with a recording made at the SP speed.
Note: The TV/VCR plays back tapes at the speed in which they were recorded.
