● To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a long
period of time, S-VHS recording on S-VHS cassettes is recommended.
● Use of high grade tapes is recommended for S-VHS ET recordings. On
some tapes, picture quality will not improve even if the S-VHS ET function

S-VHS recorders and of VHS recorders equipped with SQPB (S-VHS

frequently on a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function, the tape may be
damaged and the picture may be deteriorated.
