To select tape speeds
When recording, select either SP or LP. LP provides recording time
twice as long as SP. However, SP provides better picture quality. You
can mix SP and LP on the same tape. When playing back, the VCR
automatically detects the tape speed. See the table below for the
maximum recording/playback time in each speed.
