... while timer-recording or Instant Timer Recording (☞ pg. 17) is in progress.

... while B.E.S.T. (☞ pg. 28) is in progress.

●S-VHS ET does not work ...

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

●You can play back S-VHS ET recordings on most S-VHS recorders and on VHS recorders equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function. (Notice: some recorders are not compatible with this function.)

●On some tapes noise may appear when playing back a tape recorded with this function. (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 used frequently on a tape recorded with the S-VHS ET function, the tape may be damaged and the picture may be deteriorated.
