Super VHS ET (S-VHS ET)

Recording on VHS cassettes with S-VHS quality

You can record in SP mode on VHS cassettes with S-VHS picture quality. Tapes recorded using this function can be played back on a recorder equipped with the S-VHS ET function.

You can activate the S-VHS ET function only before you start recording on a VHS cassette.

Before recording, make sure that “B.E.S.T.” is set to “ON”. ( pg. 45)

Engage the S-VHS ET mode.

Press S-VHS ET on the recorder. The button lights up.

The S-VHS indicator lights up on the front display panel.

To disengage the S-VHS ET mode, press S-VHS ET. The button’s light goes off.

NOTES:

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.

You can play back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on most of S-VHS recorders and of VHS recorders equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function. (Notice some recorders are not compatible with the S-VHS ET function.)

While playing back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on some recorders, noise may appear. (If playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.)

In the high-speed search, still, slow-motion or frame-by-frame playback mode ( pg. 19, 20), noise may appear. If these mode are performed frequently on a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function, the tape may be damaged and the picture may be deteriorated.
