'SP'/'LP'/'AUTO'
'SP': Standard Play (normal recording speed)
offers the usual first-class picture quality.
'LP': Long Play (half recording speed, double
recording time). 6 hours can be recorded on a
3-hour cassette (E180) with a somewhat
reduced picture quality.
'AUTO': Automatic Long Play. If there is not
enough space on the tape to record a pro-
grammed recording in standard speed, the
recording is automatically done in 'LP' (Long
Play). Otherwise, the recording speed will be
'SP' (Standard Play).
The message 'PROTECTED CASSETTE
CANNOT RECORD' appears briefly on the
screen, then the cassette is ejected.
A cassette without its security tab had been
inserted. Cover the hole with adhesive tape or
insert a new cassette.
