NOTES about S-VHS and S-VHS ET
Ⅲ
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.
Ⅲ
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.
Ⅲ
If the S-VHS ET mode or recording format is switched during recording, the playback picture will be
blurred at the switching point.
Ⅲ
It is recommended that tapes recorded in the SP mode on this camcorder be played back on this
camcorder.
Ⅲ
Noise may appear on-screen when tapes recorded in the EP mode are played back.
Ⅲ
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.

regular VHS recordings.
