SP (Standard Play) gives the best quality recording. This 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.

Flying Erase Head
A separate erase head is mounted on the spinning headwheel -- hence the
term "flying". This lets you make clean edits without the glitches or rainbow
noise that can appear when editing a tape.
Automatic Head Cleaner
The VCR has an automatic head cleaner system. When a cassette is inserted,
the head cleaning system is activated. This system minimizes the need for
accessory cleaners or a visit to a Servicenter.
