NOTES about S-VHS and S-VHS ET
■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.
■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.
