• SP (Standard Play) gives the best quality recording; consequently, fewer
programs can be recorded on the tape. Most pre-recorded, rental tapes are
recorded in SP.
• EP (Extended Play) gives three times the recording time of tapes recorded
in SP.

Recording Pause

EP
This feature allows you to prevent recording short passages of unwanted
6 hours
material.
8 hours
Press PAUSE during recording to temporarily stop and start recording (PAUSE
appears on the screen while the tape is paused). The TV/VCR automatically
switches from pause to stop after a few minutes to prevent tape wear.

Types of Recording

Your TV/VCR provides three ways to capture programming:
• Recording allows you to press one button to record a program.
• Timer Recording program the TV/VCR for a daily, weekly, or one time
recording which will automatically start and stop at the times you set.
• Copying and Editing Tapes allows you to record from another VCR or
camcorder.

Timer Recording

Timer recording allows you to program the TV/VCR to record up to five
different programs. This is useful if you plan on being away from home for a
long period of time. Before setting the timer, make sure that the clock is set
correctly.
