This VCR, equipped with a High Quality (HQ) System, is compatible
with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment. Philips
Consumer Electronics recommends that you use only video cassette
tapes that are labelled with the mark. The use of other tapes
may result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits on the
video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if damage
occurs.
This VCR also is equipped with S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB),
allowing you to play S-VHS recordings with regular VHS resolution.
This product has a 19 micron head that provides a better picture
when you view tapes recorded in slow speed (SLP).
