S-VHS ET

This facility allows recording with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes. You can play back those cassettes recorded in S-VHS ET on
a recorder equipped with S-VHS ET.
NOTES:
To obtain the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a longer period on this model, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tape is
recommended.
You can play back S-VHS ET recordings not only on this recorder but also on another VHS recorder equipped with S-VHS ET.
* It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from regular VHS recordings.
S-VHS ET recordings can also be played back on an S-VHS recorder or a VHS recorder equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI
PLAYBACK) function. However, there may be cases where S-VHS ET playback is not possible on a particular recorder.
Frequent search (including TimeScan), still, frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback may damage the tape and cause picture
degradation.
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.
High Grade tapes are recommended for superior results.
Make sure that "B.E.S.T." is set to "ON" (
Z
pg. 26).
During S-VHS ET playback, noise may appear depending on tape quality.
Noise may appear during search (including TimeScan), still, frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback.
If the playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.
