environment,
when it is more convenient
to shoot
the subject with a brighter
image even if the picture

in a dimly lit
environment,
when it is more convenient
to shoot
with a less coarse picture although
the subject
becomes
slightly dark.

picture brightness
adjustment.
WIDe:
When set to "ON" black bars will be recorded
at the
top and bottom of the screen to produce
a cinema-

effect.
While the "WIDE" mode is engaged,
"LARGE"
in
the "TITLE SETUP
(SIZE)" (_.
pg. 19, "CAMERA
MENU")
cannot be selected.
• 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.
• If the S-VHS ET mode or recording
format is
switched
during recording,
the playback
picture
will be blurred at the switching
point.
• It is recommended
that tapes recorded
on this
camcorder
be played back on this camcorder.
• 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.
• Tapes recorded
in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode
cannot
be played
back correctly
on a normal VHS
VCR.
• S-VHS ET does not work with S-VHS tapes.
• To avoid on-screen
noise, do not perform Still
Playback
or Shuttle Search
repeatedly.
• If the picture contains
a lot of jitter or noise, use a
cleaning
cassette.
ON: With an S-VHS cassette,
"S" appears
and the
camcorder
records in S-VHS.
With a VHS cassette,
"S-ET" appears
and the
camcorder
records with S-VHS
picture quality,
which is called Super VHS ET (Expansion
Technology).
S-VHS REC appears
during
recording.
OFF: Records in VHS on a VHS or S-VHS
cassette.
• 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.
