Advantages Of S-VHS Editing
S-VHS allows you make high resolution video recordings when dubbing from one VCR to another. You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, from S-VHS to VHS, or from S-VHS to S-VHS. � From VHS to S-VHS (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Record VHS playback signals in the S-VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the orignal VHS source material, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing. � From S-VHS to VHS (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Because the picture quality of the source material is very high, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing. � From S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection): A high resolution copy is made of a high resolution original SVHS tape with minimal picture degradation. This is the preferred method of video dubbing. Set to its play mode.

NOTE:
If the player is equipped with a superimpose/OSD disable feature then set "SUPERIMPOSE" to OFF before pressing PLAY ( pg. 28).

START RECORDER
Set to its record mode.

NOTES:

� Be sure to set "TAPE DUB MODE" back to "OFF" when you finish editing. � When "TAPE DUB MODE" is set to "ON" Active Video Calibration is deactivated in order to provide better picture quality edits. � If you use an auxiliary input to connect a cable box or DBS receiver make sure that the correct input ("L-1", "F-1" or "SVIDEO") is selected after you have finished editing ( step 6, page 52).
