In Reply to: S-VHS ET incompatibility problems or VCR Name Brand problems? posted by matt67bianco on February 5, 2006 at 21:48:36:
As a public access tv "coordinator" and full time tv production teacher, I have a lot of experience with S-VHS. It will not play on most consumer (as if S decks are really "pro") gear. A few years back, I got a real cheap JVC VCR for home that has SQPB (plays s-vhs, records only in VHS) so I could view tapes from work.Hey, at least it's not as confusing as all the dvd recordable incompatabilities.

Whew!, and I was going bonkers thinking I had probably completely forgotten how to properly record using a VCR ! It has been years since I recorded anything on that VCR---the last thing I recorded was one of the last episodes of the X-Files back in 2001 ! ---But I was disappointed that I couldn't share the hysterical and filthy comical antics of comic Lisa Lampanelli from Comedy Central with my relatives at their house...Oh well...I did manage to go back into the VCR menu settings and was able to shut off the Super VHS ET recording circuitry(which allows for that option)---so that it will record in VHS regular/standard mode in case I decide to play a tape on another VCR (non-S-VHS compatible)--------I hope that does the trick ! Were you ever given that option on yours and if so, did that work?? Just curious.
Thanks so much for your info, and time MediaSeth ! ...
Regards,
Matt67BiancoP.S.---was also curious about those VCRs marked SQPB---Super Quasi Play Back----can only play back S-VHS encoded tapes but not record in S-VHS mode, only regular VHS, wow-----thanks for that clarification also :-)
