Recording a Program

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 or SLP). The speed
you select appears on the TV screen. Tapes recorded in LP can be played in this
VCR.
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, frame advance, slow motion, and
picture search work well in this speed.
SLP (Super Long Play) gives three times the recording time of tapes recorded
in SP. Special effects such as pause, frame advance, slow motion, and picture
search work well in this speed.
