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 on this TV/VCR. The slower the speed, the more programming you can fit on the tape. SLP is the slowest speed. A faster speed gives better picture quality. SP is the fastest speed.
