Various connection for editing tapes
The following three methods can be used for editing tapes.
VHS to S-VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):
Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the original
VHS quality, the edited tape has better picture quality than
those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
S-VHS to VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):
Since the original source is recorded in S-VHS mode, the edited
tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS
editing.
S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection):
Original picture quality of S-VHS made can be duplicated with
minimal picture degradation. This is the best editing method
you can use on S-VHS VCRs.
