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”.

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 modes (pg.21), noise may appear. If these modes
are performed frequently on a tape recorded using the S-VHS
ET function, the tape may be damaged and the picture may be
deteriorated.
