Advantages Of S-VHS Editing

S-VHS allows you make high resolution video recordings when dubbing from one VCR to another.

You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, from S-VHS to VHS, or from S-VHS to S-VHS.

●From VHS to S-VHS (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Record VHS playback signals in the S-VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the orignal VHS source material, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

●From S-VHS to VHS (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Because the picture quality of the source material is very high, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

●From S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection): A high resolution copy is made of a high resolution original S- VHS tape with minimal picture degradation. This is the preferred method of video dubbing.

MAKE CONNECTIONS

 

Connect an AV cable between the player’s VIDEO OUT

 

and AUDIO OUT connectors and the recorder’s VIDEO

 

IN and AUDIO IN connectors.

 

 

● If using another VCR with an S-VIDEO input or

 

 

output connector, it is recommended to use the S-

 

 

VIDEO connection to minimize picture degradation

 

 

while editing.

 

 

● When using your VCR as the recorder and a monaural

 

 

VCR as the player, connect the player’s AUDIO OUT

 

 

connector to the AUDIO IN L connector on the recorder.
