Various connection for editing tapes

The following three methods can be used for editing tapes.

●VHS to S-VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the original VHS quality, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

●S-VHS to VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):

Since the original source is recorded in S-VHS mode, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

●S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection):

Original picture quality of S-VHS made can be duplicated with minimal picture degradation. This is the best editing method you can use on S-VHS VCRs.
