Pressing the S-VHS ET button has no  
effect on an S-VHS tape.  
To obtain the highest quality recording  
and to play pictures over a longer peri-  
od, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tape is  
recommended.  
Press the S-VHS ET button again to cancel S-VHS ET  
recording.  
Label S-VHS ET recordings so you can  
easily distinguish them from regular  
VHS recordings.  
S-VHS ET recordings also can be  
played on an S-VHSVCR or a VHSVCR  
equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI  
PLAYBACK). However, there may be  
cases where S-VHS ET playback is not  
possible on a particularVCR.  
Frequent still, frame-by-frame, and slow  
motion playback may damage the  
tape and cause the picture quality to  
decline.  
• With some tapes, better picture quality  
may not be obtained even with S-VHS  
ET recording.Test a recording first to  
make sure better results can be  
obtained.  
Use high grade tapes for good results.

36 Setting Up the VCR Plus+ Programming System  
1
First, fill in the boxes on this page. It will only take a few minutes, and you must do it if you want the VCR  
Plus+ programming system to work properly.  
Since the channel numbers of the stations you receive may not be the same as the station numbers, and  
since channel numbers differ from area to area, you must program the VCR with your local channel infor-  
mation.To fill in the boxes, you will need 1) a cable channel list, if applicable (you can request one from your  
cable company), and 2) a chart that lists VCR Plus+ channel numbers, which you can find in your TV guide  
or the TV listings of your local newspaper.  
NOTE: If you are using a Cable Box/DBS and are not using the Controller, the Cable/TV  
channel m ust be 03 or 04 (the Cable Box/DBS output channel) for every VCR Plus+ channel.

Timer Recording Speed Setting 47  
If a program is recording in SP and there is not enough tape to  
record the entire program, the VCR automatically switches to SLP  
to allow complete recording if TIMER REC SPEED is set to AUTO.  
This feature is especially useful when you set a timer recording for  
a program that is more than two hours long.  
For example, when you record a program of 140 minutes in length  
onto a 120-minute tape, the program is recorded in SP for about  
110 minutes and in SLP for about 30 minutes.

Helpful Hints  
Press the MENU button.  
If DSPC is ON, the DSPC will work for both playback and recording.  
For recording, DSPC will appear briefly on the display panel  
when you start a recording.  
• DSPC does not work during a  
Record Link.  
• DSPC makes its adjustments before  
a timer recording begins.  
Since DSPC makes its adjustments  
before recording actually starts,  
there is a brief delay after the  
REC(ord)/OTR button is pressed.To  
begin recording immediately, set  
DSPC to OFF.  
For playback, DSPC will appear briefly on the display panel at  
the beginning of playback.The VCR will adjust the picture quality  
based on the condition of the tape in use.  
If you stop or pause recording or  
playback, DSPC may not appear on  
the display panel when you resume  
recording or playback. DSPC may  
appear on the display panel only  
immediately after you insert a tape  
and begin recording or playback.
