Simitar Entertainment VCR Tracking Bumpers

(1990?-2000)

Bumper: On a sky blue background, we see the words "Recorded in EP Mode If you experience any picture problems, adjust Tracking Control" in silver.

Variant: There is an early variant which is in a blue background and is not in a gradient, and includes a different font which is narrower.

Technique: None

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Simitar tapes with the Gold S logo (currently unknown if it appears on releases with the Other S From Hell logo). The easy way to find this is by looking at the tape to see if it says EP Mode. It was rarely seen on the Awesome Series but it might be on other tapes as well. The Early Variant can be seen on Awesome Airplanes and Awesome Motorcycles. It also made a surprise appearance on Awesome Mining due to the fact that the tape has been recorded in SP Mode instead of EP.
