When 10 hours have passed, the counter in the display window returns to “0:00:00” and the

The VCR can also play S-VHS tapes recorded by S-VHS mode. The VCR will automatically
identify the type of tape inserted in the VCR (either VHS or S-VHS). When S-VHS tapes are
played in the VCR, the enhanced resolution will not be visible on screen; there may also be
picture distortion while playing the S-VHS tape in slow motion or while utilizing other
special playback modes. The VCR will not record in S-VHS mode on an S-VHS tape.
The playback of S-VHS tapes recorded in EP/LP mode cannot be guaranteed.
