About the VHS Formats
With this Movie Camera, you can choose one of the following
3 different formats for recording:
1. VHS: also called “normal” or “conventional VHS”
format
2. S-VHS (Super-VHS): developed based on the VHS
format but featuring higher resolution and picture
quality
(The [ ] Indication appears.)
3. S-VHS ET (Super-VHS Expansion Technology):
This function allows recording and playback in S-VHS
quality picture on a normal VHS-C cassette
(The [S-VHS ET] Indication appears.)
(Recording in this format is only possible in the SP Mode.)
≥When you insert a VHS-C cassette:
If you set [S-VHS ET] on the [OTHER FUNCTIONS] Sub-
Menu to [ON], recording is performed in the S-VHS ET
format, and if you set [S-VHS ET] to [OFF], recording is
performed in the VHS format. (l 28)
≥When you insert an S-VHS-C cassette:
If you set [S-VHS] on the [OTHER FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu
to [ON], recording is performed in the S-VHS format, and if
you set [S-VHS] to [OFF], recording is performed in the VHS
format. (l 28)
∫ Recording and Playback
Before starting to record, decide in which VHS format you
want to record.
≥A cassette that was recorded in the S-VHS or S-VHS ET
format can also be played back on other S-VHS, S-VHS ET
or SQPB (S-VHS Quasi Playback) video equipment.
(However, with some equipment, playback may not be
possible. In that case, connect this Movie Camera directly to
the TV. (l 72))
≥If you want to record and play back with highest possible
picture quality or store the cassettes for a long time, we
recommend that you use S-VHS-C cassettes and record in
the S-VHS format.
≥If you record in the S-VHS ET format, the picture quality
may not be very good with certain types of cassettes. To
avoid negative surprises, we recommend that you make a
trial recording and confirm that the quality of the recorded
picture is satisfactory.
(To ensure optimum picture quality, we recommend the use
of HG (high-grade) type cassettes.)
