To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures
over a long period of time, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tapes
is recommended.
You can play back S-VHS ET recordings on most S-VHS
recorders and on VHS recorders equipped with SQPB (S-VHS
QUASI PLAYBACK) function. (Notice: some recorders are not
compatible with this function.)
On some tapes noise may appear when playing back a tape
recorded with this function. (If playback picture becomes
blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.)
In the high-speed search, still, slow-motion or frame-by-frame
playback modes ( pg. 15), noise may appear. If these
modes are used frequently on a tape recorded with the S-VHS
ET function, the tape may be damaged and the picture may
be deteriorated.
