Recording Speed Selection
Your video recorder can record in three speeds:
Standard Play (SP), Long Play (LP), and Ex-
tended Play (EP). SP provides better picture
quality. EP provides longer recording time.
How much you can record depends upon the
recording speed you select and the video cassette
tape length you use. Video cassettes corhe in vary-
ing lengths as shown in the table below.
All tapes, regardless of brand name, are desig-
nated by the letter "T" and by a two or three digit
number. The letter stands for time and the num-
ber represents the amount of time (as expressed
in minutes) available for recording in SP (Stand-
ard Play). As indicated in the table below, the
total amount of recording time available on any
video cassette is doubled when LP is selected and
tripled when EP is selected.
