You have the option of two playback and recording

speeds: Standard Play (SP) offers the usual first-class

picture quality. By using Long Play (LP), you can (with

somewhat reduced picture quality) for example record

about 360 minutes of programmes on a 180 minute

cassette.This chapter explains how to set the desired

recording speed (“Selecting the recording speed” ).

VHS cassettes can be protected from over-recording by

breaking off a thin strip of plastic (arrow). This erase

protection can be overridden by sticking one or more

strips of adhesive tape tightly over the gap which has

been created.
