"Super VHS ET" Capable of recording over 400 lines of high resolu-
tion 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 :
• Perfect solution of high resolution picture (400 lines vs. 240 lines)
• Cheaper hardware cost than S-VHS in the past
• Enable to use standard tape for S-VHS recording
• Same running cost of recording on VHS
