Notes
S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)
• Tapes recorded in S-VHS can easily be played back
using the same procedure as with VHS tapes.
• This VCR automatically distinguishes between S-VHS
and VHS tapes and plays them back.
• Picture quality will be normal VHS, not S-VHS and
picture noise may occur. (Color loss or picture
disruption during Search, Pause, etc. is normal.)
• S-VHS recording is not possible.
