Super VHS ET (S-VHS ET)
— Recording on VHS tapes

This function allows you to record in SP mode on VHS tapes with
S-VHS picture quality. Tapes recorded using this function can be
played back on a recorder equipped with the S-VHS ET function.
● You can activate this function only before you start recording
on a VHS tape.
● Before recording, make sure that "B.E.S.T." is set to "ON".

NOTES:
● Use of high grade tapes is essential for S-VHS ET record-
ings. On some tapes, picture quality will not improve
even if the S-VHS ET function is used. Check the record-
ing quality before you start important recordings.
● You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function ...
... while recording is in progress.
... while timer-recording or Instant Timer Recording
(
੬
pg. 19) is in progress.
... while B.E.S.T. (
੬
pg. 28) is in progress.
● S-VHS ET does not work ...
... with S-VHS tapes.
... 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 tapes
is recommended.
● You can play back S-VHS ET recordings on most S-VHS
recorders and on VHS recorders equipped with SQPB (S-VHS
QUASI PLAYBACK) function. (Notice: some recorders are not
compatible with this function.)
● On some tapes noise may appear when playing back a tape
recorded with this function. (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. 15), noise may appear. If these
modes are used frequently on a tape recorded with the
S-VHS ET function, the tape may be damaged and the picture
may be deteriorated.
