A tape will play only in the speed in which it was recorded. When recording, you can change the tape speed using the SPEED button. You cannot record in LP speed. The slower the speed, the more programming you can fit on the tape. SLP is the slowest speed. Cassette type / Playback Time Tape Speed T160 T120 T60 SP(Standard Play) 2 hrs. 40 mins. 2 hrs. 1 hr.

Helpful Hints • You cannot record one channel while watching another. • Recording options are on pages 25-30. • If you pause a recording for more than five minutes, the TV/VCR will switch to Stop mode automatically to protect the video cassette tape from damage. • You can change the tape speed with the SPEED button while a recording is in progress, but some distortion may appear on the tape.
