* The default setting is bold in the table below.
8 S-VHS ET
ON
OFF
You can record in SP mode on VHS cassettes with S-VHS picture
quality. You can play back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET
function on most of S-VHS recorders and of VHS recorders equipped
with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function. (Notice some
recorders are not compatible with the S-VHS ET function.)
When this function is set to “ON”, the S-VHS indicator lights up on
the front display panel.
NOTES:
● You can activate the S-VHS ET function only before you start recording on a
VHS cassette.
● Before recording, make sure that “B.E.S.T.” is set to “ON”. ( ੬
below)
● You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function:
— while recording is in progress.
— while timer-recording or Instant Timer Recording (
੬
pg. 29, 32, 34) is
in progress.
— while B.E.S.T. (
੬
pg. 31) is in progress.
● The S-VHS ET function does not work:
— with S-VHS cassettes.
— with recordings in LP/EP mode.
● To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a long
period of time, S-VHS recording on S-VHS cassettes is recommended.
● Use of high grade tapes is recommended for S-VHS ET recordings. On
some tapes, picture quality will not improve even if the S-VHS ET function
is used. Check the recording quality before you start important recordings.
● While playing back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on some
recorders, noise may appear. (If playback picture becomes blurred or
interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.)
● In the high-speed search, still, slow-motion or frame-by-frame playback
modes (
੬
pg. 25, 26), noise may appear. If these modes are performed
frequently on a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function, the tape may be
damaged and the picture may be deteriorated.
8 B.E.S.T.
ON
OFF
You can set the B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking)
system to “ON” or “OFF”. (

8 PICTURE CONTROL
AUTO
EDIT
SOFT
This feature helps you to adjust the playback picture quality
according to your preference. Normally select “AUTO”.
AUTO : Provides the optimised picture benefits of the B.E.S.T.
Picture System.
EDIT : Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording
and playback).
SOFT : Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed
tapes containing a lot of noise.
NOTES:
● When you select “EDIT” or “SOFT”, the selected mode will not change
until you select another mode.
● When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes, be sure to select “AUTO” after you
finish dubbing the tapes.
● When “B.E.S.T.” is “OFF”, “PICTURE CONTROL” switches automatically
from “AUTO” to “NORM”.
