Additional Notes about S-VHS and S-VHS ET Cassette Tapes
•Use S-VHS tapes for storing recordings for an extended period or for recording important scenes, as they enable higher-quality recording and playback.
•With some tapes, better picture quality may not be obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is recommended that you do a test recording beforehand to ensure if better results can be obtained.
•If the S-VHS ET mode or recording format is switched during recording, the playback picture will be blurred at the switching point.
•Noise may appear on-screen when tapes recorded in the SLP mode are played back.
•Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode can be played back not only on this camcorder but also on a Super VHS VCR, an S-VHS ET VCR, or a VCR equipped with the SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function.
•When tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode are played back on a VCR equipped with the SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function, S-VHS picture quality is not available.
•Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode may not play back on some VCRs.
•It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from regular VHS recordings.
•To avoid on-screen noise, do not perform Still Playback or Shuttle Search repeatedly.
•The S-VHS ET (extended technology) feature does not work with S-VHS tapes.
