We recommend that you use cassettes other than type E300.
If you want to record and playback with highest possible picture quality or store the
cassettes for a long time, we recommend that you use S-VHS cassettes and record
in the S-VHS format.
If you record in the S-VHS ET format, the picture quality may not be very good with
certain types of cassettes. To avoid negative surprises, we recommend that you
make a trial recording and confirm that the quality of the recorded picture is
satisfactory. To ensure optimum picture quality, we recommend the use of high-quality
type cassettes.
We recommend entering [S-VHS ET] into the cassette label on any cassette that you
have recorded using the S-VHS ET function so that you will be able to distinguish
such cassettes from VHS cassettes.
The following table lists the playback formats that are compatible with this VCR’s
recording standard.
