High Picture Quality Technologies for an S-VHS Portable VCR

These include advanced metal heads and cylinder-mounted preamplifiers to improve carrier-to-noise ratio and a digital signal processor, including a time base corrector and a chrominance noise reducer, to improve the clarity of the reproduced picture.
