Panasonic actually created an even slower tape speed called "VP" on some of their DVD Recorder-VHS combo decks. It runs the tape 4X slower so you can squeeze 8 hours onto a T120 tape. With modern head design and no requirements for backwards compatibility, the recording quality is apparently decent. Some Amazon reviews even claim these "VP" speed tapes will playback on older VHS decks. I do wonder why anyone would be recording VHS tapes on a deck that has a superior quality DVD recorder attached to it though. |

There are two good reasons someone would want to record on both parts of a combo. The first one is that if you can't get your hands on one format of blank when you decide to record something last minute there is always a chance you can get the other. The second is that you can address a timer recording to either recorder and if you are recording stuff while away on a long trip the more hours you can record with one machine the better...I used to use 3-4 VHS decks on some roughly 3 week vacations I went on, and usually at least one had a T-180 9hour EP mode tape in it. In a nutshell some folks care more about actually getting to watch their programs via time shifting then they do about the quality they see it in.
