The "Video Home System" (VHS) has become the
world-wide standard for recording and playback of
amateur video cassettes.The popular standard has since
been refined. Super-VHS (S-VHS) offers greater
sharpness and less noise, Digital-VHS (D-VHS) now only
works with digital picture and sound signals.Your video
recorder can only record and play standard VHS
cassettes.

44This may happen, for example, when you insert an
incompletely-rewound cassette into the video
recorder and rewind it to the start of the tape.
Since the display is automatically reset to
"00:00:00" when you insert a cassette, the actual
start of the cassette for the set is less than zero -
thus in the negative range. The tape position is
displayed with a minus sign ("-"). PPRROOBBLLEEMM
