Recording Speeds
Press SPEED to select a recording speed.
•
SP
(Standard Play) gives the best quality recording; consequently, fewer
programs can be recorded on the tape. Most pre-recorded, rental tapes are
recorded in SP.
•
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 in this speed.
Recording Pause
This feature allows you to prevent recording short passages of unwanted material.
Press PAUSE during recording to temporarily stop and start recording. While the tape is paused,
the RECORD indicator on the front panel will flash. The TV/VCR will automatically switch from
pause to stop after a few minutes to prevent tape wear.
Types of Recording
Your TV/VCR provides four ways to record programs:
•
Recording
allows you to press one button to record a program.
•
One-Touch Recording
(OTR)
allows recording to start while a program is being
watched. This feature automatically stops recording after a designated period of time.
•
Timer Recording
program the VCR for a daily, weekly, or one time recording which will
automatically start and stop at the times you set.
•
Copying and Editing Tapes
allows you to record from another VCR or camcorder.
