Recordings
Your VCR provides different recording options. These options are explained in this section of the
manual.
Recording Speeds
Press
SPEED
on the remote to select a recording speed (SP, LP, or
SLP). The speed you select appears on the TV screen and in the VCRÕs
display panel. The VCR automatically selects the playback speed (SP,
LP, or SLP).
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.
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.
