To Record a VHS Cassette with S-VHS Quality (S-VHS Expansion Technology)

S-VHS ET stands for Super-VHS Expansion Technology. This function allows recording and playback in S-VHS picture quality on a normal VHS cassette.

Recording in this format is only possible in the SP mode.

If LP or EP mode is selected while setting up a timer recording, the S-VHS ET indicator turns off and S-VHS ET is cancelled.

Insert a VHS cassette and set the [S-VHS ET] to [ON], so that the S-VHS ET indicator is lit. (See page 21.) Recording is performed in the S-VHS picture quality.

•When a cassette that was recorded using S-VHS ET function is played back on a VHS VCR without S-VHS quasi playback function, noisy playback picture will appear.

Notes:

•We recommend that you use cassettes other than type E300.

•When receiving SECAM signals or when you set [Video system] on the Manual tuning menu or [TV system] on the Other settings menu to [MESECAM] (see pages 19 and 21), recording is automatically made in the VHS format even if the S-VHS ET indicator is lit.

•If you want to record and playback with highest possible picture quality or store the cassettes for a long time, we recommend that you use S-VHS cassettes and record in the S-VHS format.

•If you record in the S-VHS ET format, the picture quality may not be very good with certain types of cassettes.

To avoid negative surprises, we recommend that you make a trial recording and confirm that the quality of the recorded picture is satisfactory.

To ensure optimum picture quality, we recommend the use of high- quality type cassettes.
