NOTES:
●
Use of high grade tapes is essential for S-VHS ET record-

even if the S-VHS ET function is used. Check the record-
ing quality before you start important recordings.
●
You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function ...
... while recording is in progress.
... while timer-recording or Instant Timer Recording
(
墌
pg. 19) is in progress.
... while B.E.S.T. (
墌
pg. 28) is in progress.
●
S-VHS ET does not work ...
... with S-VHS tapes.
... 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 tapes
is recommended.
●
You can play back S-VHS ET recordings on most S-VHS
recorders and on VHS recorders equipped with SQPB (S-VHS
QUASI PLAYBACK) function. (Notice: some recorders are not
compatible with this function.)
●
On some tapes noise may appear when playing back a tape
recorded with this function. (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 (
墌
pg. 15), noise may appear. If these
modes are used frequently on a tape recorded with the
S-VHS ET function, the tape may be damaged and the picture
may be deteriorated.
