Whal is
l-HO?
Well. in
simple
terms,
it is
a way
of
gefling
the
best
picture
qual[y
out ot
your
video
tapes
during recording
and
playback.
For
example,
if
you
use
S-VHS
(highest
quatily)
video
tapes
lor recordtng you
will get
a
piclure
quality
that
is
greatly
improved
over normal
(non
l-HQ)
VCFis.
When
recording
wilh
high grade
tapes
(S-VHS
etc.)
on a
normal (non
l-HQ)
VCR you
don't
get
the
tull benefit
of
the
vrsual
range
available
with
these
tapes.
Of course. l-HQ
optimizes
the
quality
of all
your
video
tapes.
uec€use,
when you press
lhe l-HO
and record
buttons,
the
VCFI
reads

memorizes
the
characteristics
of the taDeand
so uses the
full
potential
of that
taDe.
This is the
same
operation
that is
tound
on high
quality
audio
cassette
decks.
During
playback,
l-HQ
optimizes
noise
cancellation
and the
reproduction
of
