Hope someone can help me with this video dilemma I encountered...I recently used a Philips Super-VHS ET Hi-Fi VCR to tape a show off Comedy Central. I used a TDK E-HG blank video tape. The recorder itself was set in the S-VHS ET mode. I played the tape back and it looks great on my own Philips VCR (Model #VR960BPH). I also used the SP (standard play) speed mode to record...When I tried playing the tape back on my cousin's Panasonic VCR (monaural, no hi-fi capability, no S-VHS, HQ system only)---very basic vcr, the picture(sometimes no picture) was horrendous with noise, black and white,---only the soundtrack sounded normal.Everything else visually was a bust ! I even tried playing it on a bare bones regular/mono Emerson VCR( no hi-fi or Super VHS circuitry)---- no picture , no sound, nada zip, just video/audio noise.
Is this common or the result of using the S-VHS ET mode from my Philips and then trying to play it back on a regular mono HQ Panasonic VCR ?
Is a S-VHS ET recorded tape incompatible to play back on a non-S-VHS ET deck? Or, just certain brands of vcrs will not play recorded tapes made on other vcrs?...Basically, is it a problem due to choice of recording method chosen or just name brand vcr incompatibility (or both)??Any info, is greatly appreciated...I searched in the archives but could not find any mention of this. I also read my manual like crazy hoping to find an answer;none.
Kind regards,

Follow Ups:
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 :-)
