Recording Features
The VCR provides several different ways to record programs from the TV. The following pages
explain how to use the types of recording feature.
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.
•
LP
(Long Play) gives twice the recording time of tapes recorded in SP.
Special effects such as pause, slow motion, picture search, and frame
advance are not recommended in this speed.
•
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 front panel indicator light inside the REC button 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 capture programming:
1.
Recording
allows you to press one button to record a program.
2.
Express Recording
(XPR)
allows recording to start while a program is
being watched. This feature automatically stops recording after a designated
period of time.
3.
Timer Recording
program the VCR for a daily, weekly, or onetime
recording which will automatically start and stop at the times you set.
4.
Copying and Editing Tapes
allows you to record from another VCR or
camcorder.
