NOTES about S-VHS and S-VHS ET
䡲
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.
— It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from
regular VHS recordings.
䡲
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.
䡲
If the S-VHS ET mode or recording format is switched during recording, the playback picture will be
blurred at the switching point.
䡲
It is recommended that tapes recorded on this camcorder be played back on this camcorder.
䡲
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.
— Tapes recorded in S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back on some VCRs, including some JVC VCRs.
䡲
Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back correctly on a normal VHS VCR.
䡲
S-VHS ET does not work with S-VHS tapes.
