Selecting the

Recording Speed

Protecting a Recorded

Cassette

You can record a cassette at two different speeds:

• SP (Standard Play)

• LP (Long Play)

Video cassettes have a safety tab to prevent accidental

erasure. When this tab has been removed, you cannot

record on the tape.

In Long Play modes:

• Each cassette lasts twice as long

• The recording is of a slightly lower quality

If you wish to protect a cassette, break off the tab

using a small screwdriver.

Press the SPEED button on the remote control to

select SP or LP.

The selected record speed will appear on the front

panel display.

ꢁ To re-record over a protected cassette (safety

tab broken), cover the hole with adhesive

tape.
