NOTES about S-VHS and S-VHS ET (GR-SXM46/SXM26/SX41/SX21 only)

■JVC EHG (Extra High Grade) tapes are recommended for superior results.

Use S-VHS tape for storing recordings for an extended period or for recording important scenes, as it enables higher-quality recording and playback.

—It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from regular VHS recordings.

■With some tapes, better picture quality may not be obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is recommended that you do test record beforehand to make sure whether better results can be obtained.

■If the S-VHS ET mode or recording format is switched during recording, the playback picture will be blurred at the switching point.

■ It is recommended that tapes recorded on this camcorder be played back on this camcorder.

■Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode can be played back not only on this camcorder but also on a Super VHS VCR.

— Tapes recorded in S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back on some VCRs, including some JVC VCRs.

■Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back correctly on a normal VHS VCR.

■S-VHS ET does not work with S-VHS tapes.

■To avoid on-screen noise, do not perform Still Playback or Shuttle Search repeatedly.
