Super VHS and “Super
VHS ET” Technology for
+60% Better Picture
Quality
(GR-SXM37)
As a format, Super VHS offers
more than 400 lines
of horizontal resolution. That’s
up to 60%
more resolution
than ordinary video – great for large-screen
viewing and ideal for master tapes. For those really important
recordings that you plan to keep, using S-VHS cassettes will
assure the highest possible quality now and in the future. And
with the
Super VHS ET
function, you can enjoy high resolution
more conveniently because it lets you record Super VHS
images on standard Compact VHS cassettes.*
*JVC’s HG (High Grade) tapes recommended.
For best reproduction, SP mode recording with
camcorder playback is recommended as some
noise may appear with EP recorded tapes or
when played back on a VCR. There are some
S-VHS VCR models by JVC and other
manufacturers with which playback of an S-VHS
ET recorded tape is not possible.
