76 EN		SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)
		* The default setting is bold in the table below.
8 S-VHS ET	You can record in SP mode on VHS cassettes with S-VHS picture quality. You can
ON	play back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on most of S-VHS recorders
OFF	and of VHS recorders equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function.
	(Notice some recorders are not compatible with the S-VHS ET function.)
	When this function is set to “ON”, the S-VHS indicator lights up on the front
	display panel.
	NOTES:
	● You can activate the S-VHS ET function only before you start recording on a VHS cassette.
	● Before recording, make sure that “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is set to “ON”. ( below)
	● You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function:
	— while recording is in progress.
	— while timer-recording or Instant Timer Recording ( pg. 33, 36) is in progress.
	— while Video Calibration ( pg. 35) 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.
	● 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 variable speed search, still, slow-motion or frame-by-frame playback modes
	( pg. 29), 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.
8 VIDEO CALIBRATION	When this function is set to “ON”, this unit checks the condition of the tape in use
ON	during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible
OFF	pictures. This takes place whenever you play back a tape or start recording after
	inserting a tape. ( pg. 35)
8 PICTURE CONTROL	This feature helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your
AUTO	preference. Normally select “AUTO”.
EDIT	AUTO:	Provides the optimised picture benefits of the VIDEO CALIBRATION
SOFT		Picture System.
SHARP	EDIT:	Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and playback).
	SOFT:	Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes containing a
		lot of noise.
	SHARP	Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with lots of flat,
		same-coloured surfaces such as cartoons.
	NOTES:
	● When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected mode will not change until you
	select another mode.
	● When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes, be sure to select “AUTO” after you finish dubbing the
	tapes.
	● When “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is “OFF”, “PICTURE CONTROL” switches automatically
	from “AUTO” to “NORM”.
