NOTES:

resolution of 400 lines, comparing with the 230 lines of resolution of

 

 

conventional VHS recordings. To achieve the highest quality picture we

 

 

recommended to record in S-VHS mode. (But remember that a conventional

 

 

VHS VCR without SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS

 

 

mode.)

 

 

• S-VHS MODE setting does not affect recording on VHS tapes. Recording on

 

 

VHS tapes is always performed in VHS mode except when using S-VHS ET

one touch control of the audio and video components linked via their

 

 

AV COMPULINK connectors becomes possible.

 

 

For example: simply load a cassette in the VCR and press PLAY ( 3 ) and the

 

 

AV COMPULINK components automatically turn on, the TV’s AV mode is

 

 

selected and the VCR starts playback. (You do not have to press PLAY ( 3 ) if

 

 

the cassette’s record safety tab is removed.)

 

 

When this function is set to “OFF”, you can use this terminal as the

 

 

REMOTE PAUSE terminal. ( pg. 47)
