19-Inch Color TV/VCR
(160-0418) Recording Faxback Doc. # 31260
TAPE SELECTION
The quality of tape you use greatly affects record/playback quality and the
life of the TV/VCR. Use only cassette tapes that have the official VHS
logo.
High-grade tapes give the best results, especially at the EP speed. They
also have a better oxide coating that helps prevent dirty video heads.
Although T-160 tapes offer the longest recording time, they contain thinner
tape that is more likely to stretch or cause tape jams. We suggest that
you use T-120 or shorter tapes.
You can record in the SP or EP mode. When recording, press SP/EP on the
remote control to select the desired recording mode (SP or EP). During
playback, the VCR automatically detects the recording format, and then
plays back the tape in the appropriate mode.
The following chart shows the maximum recording times for T-60, T-120, and
T-160 tapes at the two recording speeds.
|-----------|----------------|-----------------|----------------|
| SPEED | T-60 | T-120 | T-160 |
|-----------|----------------|-----------------|----------------|
| SP | 1 Hour | 2 Hours | 2 2/3 Hours |
| | (60 Minutes) | (120 Minutes) | (160 Minutes)|
|-----------|----------------|-----------------|----------------|
| EP | 3 Hours | 6 Hours | 8 Hours |
| | (180 Minutes) | (360 Minutes) | (480 Minutes) |
