Technology). You can play back those cassettes recorded in S-
VHS ET on a VCR equipped with S-VHS ET. You can record with
S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes.

Before you begin the recording, press the S-VHS ET but-
ton on the front of the VCR so that the button lights.
When the button is lit, recordings will be in S-VHS format.
• Pressing the S-VHS ET button has no
effect on an S-VHS tape.
• To obtain the highest quality recording
and to play pictures over a longer peri-
od, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tape is
recommended.
• Label S-VHS ET recordings so you can
easily distinguish them from regular
VHS recordings.
• S-VHS ET recordings can be played on
an S-VHS VCR or a VHS VCR
equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI
PLAYBACK). 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 the picture quality to
decline.
• With some tapes, better picture quality
may not be obtained even with S-VHS
ET recording. Test a recording first to
make sure better results can be
obtained.
• Use high grade tapes for good results.
