Advantages of S-VHS video recorders

You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, S-VHS to VHS, or from S-VHS to S-VHS.

From VHS to S-VHS: Record VHS playback signals in the S-VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently limited by that of the original, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

From S-VHS to VHS: Because the picture quality of the source material is very high, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

From S-VHS to S-VHS: All signals will be transferred with minimum degradation.

NOTES:

Dubbing is also possible using the front panel connectors.

All necessary cables can be obtained from your dealer.

When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes in step 4, be sure to select “AUTO” (or “NORM” when “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is set to “OFF”) after you finish dubbing the tapes.

When you use this VCR as the source player for editing, be

sure to set “SUPERIMPOSE” to “OFF” before starting ( pg. 71).

If you are using another VCR with S-Video and Audio input/ output connectors, you can connect those connectors to this VCR’s S-VIDEO and AUDIO input/output connectors.
