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. Special effects such as pause, slow motion, picture search, and frame advance work well in this speed.
LP (Long Play) gives twice the recording time of tapes recorded in
SP. Special effects in playback are not recommended in LP.
SLP (Super Long Play) gives three times the recording time of tapes recorded in SP. Special effects such as pause, slow motion, picture search, and frame advance work well in this speed.
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 VCR’s display panel.
The VCR automatically switches from pause to stop after a few minutes.
