Types
The best thing you can do for your VCR is use the best quality tapes available. This VCR uses
VHS tapes only, which are the most common type. Look for the VHS mark on new or
prerecorded tapes you buy.
Tapes are marked either T-120 or T-160, which signifies how many minutes of programming
they can hold at standard recording speed (SP). To get the best quality picture, record at
standard speed. But if you want to get more on a tape and are less concerned about the quality,
set the VCR for extended play (EP).
