S-VHS Quasi Play Back (SQPB)
This unit has a SQPB function that allows you to view a tape
recorded in S-VHS format. A tape recorded in S-VHS format will
play the same as a tape recorded in normal format. This unit auto-
matically detects whether the tape is recorded in S-VHS format or
in normal format.
When you play a tape recorded in S-VHS format on this unit, you
can not get the high resolution that would be available on an S-
VHS VCR. Noise lines (black and white streaks) may appear on
the picture.
