RECORDING (cont.)

Super VHS ET (S-VHS ET)

—Recording on VHS cassettes with S-VHS quality

You can record in SP mode on VHS cassettes with S-VHS picture quality. Tapes recorded using this function can be played back on a recorder equipped with the S-VHS ET function.

●You can activate the S-VHS ET function only before you start recording on a VHS cassette.

●Before recording, make sure that “B.E.S.T.” is set to “ON”. ( pg. 37)

Engage the S-VHS ET mode.

Press S-VHS ET on the recorder. You can check the current setting (“S-VHS ET : ON” or “S-VHS ET : OFF”) if “O.S.D.” is set to “ON” ( pg. 37). If “S-VHS ET : OFF” appears on the TV screen, press S-VHS ET again in about 5 seconds to set it to “ON”.

●The S-VHS indicator lights up on the front display panel.

NOTES:

●You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function ...

... while recording is in progress.

... while timer-recording or Instant Timer Recording ( pg. 19) is in progress.

... while B.E.S.T. ( pg. 21) is in progress.

●The S-VHS ET function does not work ...

... with S-VHS cassettes.

... with recordings in LP mode.

●To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a long period of time, S-VHS recording on S-VHS cassettes is recommended.

●Use of high grade tapes is recommended for S-VHS ET recordings. On some tapes, picture quality will not improve even if the S-VHS ET function is used. Check the recording quality before you start important recordings.

●You can play back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on most of S-VHS recorders and of VHS recorders equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function. (Notice some recorders are not compatible with the S-VHS ET function.)

●While playing back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on some recorders, noise may appear. (If playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.)

●In the high-speed search, still, slow-motion or frame-by-frame playback modes ( pg. 15), noise may appear. If these modes are performed frequently on a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function, the tape may be damaged and the picture may be deteriorated.

Receiving Stereo and Bilingual Programmes

Your recorder is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2) and a Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) making reception of stereo and bilingual broadcasts possible.

When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.
