The easiest, most basic operation possible with your video recorder is tape playback. Already-recorded signals on a video tape are read by your video recorder and displayed on your TV just like a TV programme.

S-VHS playback is possible only with S-VHS PAL tapes recorded in SP, LP or EP or S-VHS NTSC tapes recorded in the SP mode.
