Maxell P/I Plus Videocassettes demonstrate the advantage of Maxell's outstanding technology. The orientation of the magnetic particles on the tape surface is so precisely controlled in the crystal substrate that a new level of the particle alignment and density is achieved. This results in a high signal-to-noise ratio. The magnetic particle formula also makes this an incredible low-friction tape. This means a smooth running, trouble free videocassette with extreme stability, no jamming, and virtually no dropouts. Maxell P/I Plus Videocassettes are unsurpassed in video and chroma output, as well. That's why the image is so sharp and realistic. The tapes audio frequency response and audio signal-to-noise ratio are clearly of superior quality, so the resulting sound reproduction is as superb as the picture quality
