Video Recorder, connect the device

Long Play/Standard Play
Your Video Recorder has a Long Play
(LP) feature. This means you can
record twice the amount of informa-
tion on each recordable video tape.
For example on a three hour (E180)

from that of standard play.
Press the LP button if you wish to
change to Long Play, press it again to
select Standard Play (SP). SP or LP
