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 playback speed (SP, LP, or SLP).
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, slow motion,
picture search, and frame advance work well.
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.
Recording Pause
This feature allows you to prevent recording short passages of unwanted material.
Press
PAUSE
during recording to stop and start
recording.
REC.P
appears in the VCR’s display panel.
The VCR will automatically switch from pause to stop
after a few minutes.
