Super VHS ET (S-VHS ET)
— Recording on VHS cassettes with S-VHS quality
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.)
● 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”
(

Engage the S-VHS ET mode.
Press S-VHS ET on the recorder. You can check the current setting
(“S-VHS ET : ON” or “S-VHS ET : OFF”). If “S-VHS ET : OFF”
appears on the TV screen, press S-VHS ET again in about 5
seconds to set it to “ON”.

... 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 (

performed frequently on a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET
function, the tape may be damaged and the picture may be
deteriorated.
