Maximum

recording time of a tape

The quality of tape you use greatly affects record/playback quality and the life of the
VIDEO TV. Use only cassette tapes that have the official VHS logo.
High-grade tapes give the best results, especially at the EP speed. Th.ey also have
a better oxide coating-that helps prevent dirty video heads. Although "1"-160tapes
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.
Recording in the SP, LP or EP mode is possible with this unit. When recording,
select the desired recording mode (SP, LP or EP) with TAPE SPEED on the
Commander. During playback, the unit automatically detects the recording format,
and then plays back the tape in the appropriate mode.

noise.
Tracking ensures that the tape is correctly aligned with the playback head. It only
works in the "playback" mode and its principle purpose is to minimize picture shake

picture).
