S-VHS ET
This facility allows recording with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes. You can play back those cassettes recorded in S-VHS
ET on a VCR equipped with S-VHS ET.
NOTES:
●
To obtain the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a longer period on this model, S-VHS recording on S-VHS
tape is recommended.
●
You can play back S-VHS ET recordings not only on this VCR but also on another VHS VCR equipped with S-VHS ET.
* It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from regular VHS recordings.
●
S-VHS ET recordings can also be played back on an S-VHS VCR or a VHS VCR equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAY-
BACK) function. However, there may be cases where S-VHS ET playback is not possible on a particular VCR.
●
Frequent still, frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback may damage the tape and cause picture degradation.
●
With some tapes, better picture quality may not be obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is recommended that you do
test record beforehand to make sure whether better results can be obtained.
●
High Grade tapes are recommended for superior results.
●
Make sure that "VIDEO CALIBRATION" is set to "ON" at the Function screen (
Z
pg. 36).

During S-VHS ET playback, noise may appear depending on tape quality.
