Recording Speeds

Press SPEED on the remote to select a recording speed (SP or SLP). The speed you select
appears on the TV screen and in the VCR's display panel. The VCR automatically selects the
speed for playback.
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.
