The following three methods carl be used for editing tapes.

• VHS to S-VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connedion):

Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the

original VHS quality, the edited tape has better picture quality

than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

•S-VHS to VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):

Sin_e the original source is re_orded in S-VHS mode, the

edited tape has better picture quality than those made by

VHS-to-VHS editing.

• S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection):

Original picture quality of S-VHS made can be duplicated

with minimal pk ture degradation. [his is the best editing

method you can use on S-VHS VCRs.
