NOTES about S-VHS and S-VHS ET
JVC EHG (Extra High Grade) tapes are recommended for superior results.
Use S-VHS tape for storing recordings for an extended period or for recording important scenes, as it
enables higher-quality recording and playback.
With some tapes, better picture quality may not be obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is
recommended that you do test record beforehand to make sure whether better results can be obtained.
If the S-VHS ET mode or recording format is switched during recording, the playback picture will be
blurred at the switching point.
It is recommended that tapes recorded in the SP mode on this camcorder be played back on this
camcorder.
Noise may appear on-screen when tapes recorded in the EP mode are played back.
Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode can be played back not only on this camcorder but also on
a Super VHS VCR or a VCR equipped with the SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function.
— When tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode are played back on a VCR equipped with the
SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function, S-VHS picture quality is not available.
— Tapes recorded in S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back on some VCRs, including some JVC VCRs
(eg: HR-S6600U, HR-SC1000U, etc.).
Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back correctly on a normal VHS VCR.
You can play back S-VHS ET recordings not only on this camcorder but also on another VHS VCR
equipped with S-VHS ET.
— It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from
regular VHS recordings.
S-VHS ET does not work with S-VHS tapes.
To avoid on-screen noise, do not perform Still Playback or Shuttle Search repeatedly.
If the picture contains a lot of jitter or noise, use a cleaning cassette.
