Recording
Speed
Selection
Your video recorder
can record
in three speeds:
Standard Play (SP), Long Play (LP), and Ex-
tended Play (EP). SP provides
better picture
quality. EP provides
longer recording time.
How much you can record
depends
upon the
recording speed you select and the video cassette
tape length you use. Video cassettes come in vary-
ing lengths as shown in the table below.
All tapes, regardless
of brand name, are desig-
nated by the letter "T" and by a two or three digit
number. The letter stands for time and the num-
ber represents
the amount of time (as expressed
in minutes)
available
for recording in SP (Stand-
ard Play). As indicated
in the table below, the
total amount of recording
time available
on any
video cassette is doubled
when LP is selected
and
tripled when EP is selected.
