Tape Speeds
SP (Standard Play)
Gives the best quality recording, but
fewer programs can be recorded on
the tape. Special effects such as
pause, slow motion, picture search,
and frame advance work well when
you play back tapes recorded in
this speed.
SLP (Super Long Play)
Gives approximately three times the
recording time of tapes recorded in
SP. Special effects such as pause, slow
motion, picture search, and frame
advance work well when you play
back tapes recorded in this speed.
