S-VHS ET
This facility allows recording with S-VHS picture quality on
VHS cassettes. You can play back those cassettes recorded
in S-VHS ET on a VCR equipped with S-VHS ET.
NOTES:
●
To obtain the highest quality recording and playback
pictures over a longer period on this model, S-VHS
recording on S-VHS tape is recommended.
●
You can play back S-VHS ET recordings not only on this
recorder but also on another VHS VCR equipped with S-
VHS ET.
* It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET
recordings so you can easily distinguish them from
regular VHS recordings.
●
S-VHS ET recordings can also be played back on an S-
VHS VCR or a VHS VCR equipped with SQPB (S-VHS
QUASI PLAYBACK) function. However, there may be
cases where S-VHS ET playback is not possible on a
particular VCR.
ENGAGE S-VHS ET MODE
1
Press S-VHS ET on the front panel. You can check the
current setting (“S-VHS ET : ON” or “S-VHS ET : OFF”)
if “SUPERIMPOSE” is set to “ON” (pg. 41). If “S-VHS ET
: OFF” appears on the TV screen, press S-VHS ET again
in about 5 seconds later to set it “ON”.

panel.
To cancel S-VHS ET, press the button again.

Frequent still, frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback
may damage the tape and cause picture degradation.

With some tapes, better picture quality may not be
obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is recom-
mended that you do test record beforehand to make sure
whether better results can be obtained.
●
High Grade tapes are recommended for superior results.
●
Make sure that “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is set to “ON” at
the Function screen (
੬
pg. 47).
●
During S-VHS ET playback, noise may appear depending
on tape quality.
●
Noise may appear during still, frame-by-frame and slow-
motion playback.
●
If the playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted,
use a cleaning cassette.
