S-VHS (Super VHS), S-VHS ET and VHS

Your recorder can record in S-VHS, S-VHS ET or VHS.

S-VHS allows you to make high quality video recordings with a horizontal resolution of 400 lines. This compares with the 240 lines of resolution of normal VHS recordings. To achieve the highest quality picture we recommend that you record in S-VHS mode.
