S-VHS ET does not work with S-VHS tapes.

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

Use of high grade tapes are 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 S-VHS ET recordings on most of S-VHS VCRs and of VHS VCRs equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function. (Notice some VCRs are not compatible with this function.)

While playing back a tape recorded with this function, noise may appear. (If playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.)

During special effect playback ( pg. 28), noise may appear. If special effect playback is performed frequently on a tape recorded with this function, the tape may be damaged and picture may be deteriorated.

E Recording on VHS tapes with S-VHS quality

This function allows you to record on VHS tapes with S- VHS picture quality. Tapes recorded using this function can be played back on a VCR equipped with the S-VHS ET function.

If there is a power outage during recording (or Instant Timer Recording, or timer recording), the recording will resume automatically when the power is restored to the VCR. (No setting is required for this function.)

Video Calibration ( pg. 39)

When this function is set to “ON”, this VCR checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest- possible pictures.

Second Audio Recording ( pg. 40)

This VCR’s built-in MTS decoder enables reception of Multichannel TV Sound broadcast.

To record a SAP program received, set “2ND AUDIO RECORD” to “ON” using the menu screen.

The “STEREO” indication appears on the screen for about 5 seconds if the program is a stereo broadcast.
