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 “B.E.S.T.” 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. 28, 32, 34) is in progress.

 

— while B.E.S.T. ( pg. 30) is in progress.

 

The S-VHS ET function does not work:

 

— with S-VHS cassettes.

 

— with recordings in LP/EP mode.

 

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 high-speed search, still, slow-motion or frame-by-frame playback modes ( pg. 24,

 

25), 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.
