"Super VHS ET" Capable of recording over 400 lines of high resolution on conventional VHS Tapes. The brand-new technology "Super VHS

ET (Expansion Technology)" makes it possible to record Super VHS quality on Standard VHS tapes. The new "Super VHS ET" feature on Super VHS decks will allow users to record high-resolution Super VHS signals on the most widely available VHS cassettes, thus delivering over 400 lines of resolution. In turn, the new technology allows more users to easily enjoy higher-resolution which previously had been available only to owners of Super VHS decks using Super VHS cassette tapes. The technology will substantially expand the scope of higher-quality home picture recording and the penetration of Super VHS. Key benefit and communication for S-VHS ET :
