This VCR, equipped with a High Quality (HQ) System, is compatible with exist- ing Video Home System (VHS) equipment. This VCR also is equipped with S- VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB), allowing you to play S-VHS recordings with regular VHS resolution. However, you may not record on S-VHS tapes with this VCR.
