S-VHS ET — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, you can record on VHS cassettes with S-VHS picture quality. Tapes recorded using this function can be played back on most S-VHS recorders or VHS recorders equipped with the S-VHS ET function or VHS recorder equipped with the SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function. When this function is set to “ON”, the S-VHS indicator lights up on the display panel.

NOTES:

●Before recording, set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” ( see below).

●You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function while recording

( 7), timer-recording ( 8) or Instant Timer Recording ( 7) or the “B.E.S.T.” function ( see below) is in progress.

●The S-VHS ET function does not work with S-VHS cassettes.

●To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a long period of time, S-VHS recording on S-VHS cassettes is recommended.

●Use of high grade tapes is recommended for S-VHS ET recordings. On some tapes, picture quality will not improve even if the S-VHS ET function is used. Check the recording quality before you start important recordings.

B.E.S.T. — ON / OFF
