.... but maybe not in practise

"A key intention of the V2000 format, particularly those sporting the DTF feature, was tape compatibility: A tape from any machine should play perfectly on any other machine. Unfortunately, when the VR2020 reached the shops it was discovered that its audio head was 2.5 mm out of position compared to that on Grundig's Video 2x4. This meant that the sound would be out of sync with the picture when played back on the other type of machine. Both manufacturers hastily moved the audio head 1.25 mm to a common position on the production line, but compatibility issues remained for recordings made on the first generation of machines.[4] Furthermore, the required close tolerances and fragility of the DTF system resulted in significant inter-machine compatibility issues which were never fully resolved"

It was pre-recorded tapes that drove the take up of vhs & if I was putting out a movie I might skip video 2000 to avoid those kind of problems.
