Recording Playback
NOTES about S-VHS and S-VHS ET
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ If the S-VHS ET mode or recording format is switched during recording, the playback picture will be
blurred at the switching point.
Ⅲ It is recommended that tapes recorded in the SP mode on this camcorder be played back on this
camcorder.
Ⅲ Noise may appear on-screen when tapes recorded in the EP mode are played back.
Ⅲ 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 or a VCR equipped with the SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function.
— When tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode are played back on a VCR equipped with the
SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function, S-VHS picture quality is not available.
— Tapes recorded in S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back on some VCRs, including some JVC VCRs
(eg: HR-S6600U, HR-SC1000U, etc.).
Ⅲ Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back correctly on a normal VHS VCR.
Ⅲ You can play back S-VHS ET recordings not only on this camcorder but also on another VHS VCR
equipped with S-VHS ET.
— It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from
regular VHS recordings.
Ⅲ S-VHS ET does not work with S-VHS tapes.
Ⅲ To avoid on-screen noise, do not perform Still Playback or Shuttle Search repeatedly.
Ⅲ If the picture contains a lot of jitter or noise, use a cleaning cassette.
