SP (Standard Play) gives the best quality recording. That is why most prerecorded, rental tapes are recorded in SP. Fewer programs can be recorded on the tape.
SLP (Super Long Play) gives three times the recording time of tapes recorded in SP. Special effects, such as pause and picture search, work well.
Recording Pause
This feature allows you to prevent recording short passages of unwanted material.
Press PAUSE during recording to stop and start recording. REC.P appears in the VCRÕs display panel.
The VCR will automatically switch from pause to stop after a few minutes.
