S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)

It is possible to play cassettes that were recorded on an S-VHS unit. The picture quality is the same as a VHS recording. Depending on the video tape used, slight picture distortions may occur.

An S-VHS recording is not possible with this unit.

Manual tracking

The unit sets tracking automatically. If a cassette was recorded on another unit, it may be necessary to set tracking manually.

The picture shows interference or is blurred during playback.

During normal playback or in slow motion, press TRACKING/V-LOCK +/- until the blurriness disappears.

If freeze frames are blurry, first switch the unit to slow motion and then adjust the tracking.

Tracking cannot be controlled on some video cassettes. This does not indicate functional problems.

Automatic tracking

Press TRACKING/V-LOCK + and - at the same time to return to automatic tracking.

On some TVs, the picture can move up or down when special playback functions are used.

This does not indicate functional problems.

Handling video cassettes

If the video cassette is not in use, remove it from the unit and store it in its jacket. Avoid recording on the same tape section multiple times in order to avoid wearing out the video tape prematurely.

Carefully insert the cassette into the video recorder to avoid damage.

Do not expose the video cassette to high humidity, temperature or dust particles. Do not store the video cassette near magnetic waves, such as television sets. Do not use defective cassettes and do not try to repair them.

Do not open the housing or the protective flap on the front side of the cassette and do not touch the tape.

Use high-quality name-brand cassettes, such as those made by Panasonic. When playing cassettes recorded on another VHS-Recorder, there may be a slight decrease in picture quality.

Write-protecting cassettes

Remove the write-protection tab to protect cassettes from accidentally being erased.

If you want to record to a protected cassette, cover the gap with adhesive tape.

Cleaning video heads

Use a cleaning tape to clean the video heads.
