"SUPER VHS ET" CAPABLE OF RECORDING OVER 400 LINES OF HIGH RESOLUTION ON CONVENTIONAL VHS TAPES

The brand-new technology "Super VHS ET (Expansion Technology)" makes it possible to record Super VHS quality on Standard VHS tapes.

The new "Super VHS ET" feature on Super VHS decks will allow users to record high-resolution Super VHS signals on the most widely available VHS cassettes, thus delivering over 400 lines of resolution. In turn, the new technology allows more users to easily enjoy higher-resolution which previously had been available only to owners of Super VHS decks using Super VHS cassette tapes.

The technology will substantially expand the scope of higher-quality home picture recording and the penetration of Super VHS.

The new "Super VHS ET" is a system technology consisting of the newly developed "High-Resolution Recording System," "High Performance Video Head" and "Pre-Amp." This technology, making it possible to record 160% wider signal frequency range on VHS tapes, allows the recording of 400 lines of resolution on VHS tapes (HG tape is recommendable). In the background of this development is the fact that performance of video tapes and high quality picture technology of VHS video decks have been remarkably improved in recent years.
