EN13 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. - It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from regular VHS recordings. 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 on this camcorder be played back on this camcorder. 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. - Tapes recorded in S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back on some VCRs, including some JVC VCRs. Ⅲ Tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS ET mode cannot be played back correctly on a normal VHS VCR. Ⅲ S-VHS ET does not work with S-VHS tapes.
