When this function is set to “ON”, this VCR checks the condition of the
tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide
the highest-possible playback pictures. This takes place whenever you
play back a tape or start recording after inserting a tape.
NOTES:
●
During playback, this function is always working even though “VIDEO
CALIBRATION” appears just at the beginning of automatic tracking.
●
During recording, this function works only for the first EP recording and the first
SP recording on an inserted tape.
For timer recording, this function checks the tape condition both for the SP
recording and the EP recording before the first timer recording starts.
●
When you play back rental tapes or tapes recorded on other VCRs, set this
function either “ON” or “OFF” whichever gives you the best picture.
This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according
to your preference.
NOTES:
●
When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected mode will not
change until you select again.
●
Select "EDIT" when you are dubbing tapes (
Z
pg. 37). After you finish dubbing
the tapes, select “AUTO” (“NORM” when “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is “OFF”.)
●
When this function is set to “ON”:
The timer recording standby mode is automatically engaged when the
VCR is turned off. It is temporarily canceled when the VCR is turned
on. You do not have to press TIMER to engage or disengage the timer
recording standby mode.
●
When this function is set to “OFF”:
For safety, all buttons except TIMER are disabled while the VCR is in
the timer recording standby mode. To use the VCR as usual, press
TIMER.
When this function is set to “ON”, various VCR status information (on-
screen display) appears on the screen.
NOTES:
●
When you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing a tape, be sure to set
this function to “OFF”; otherwise, the VCR status information (on-screen
display) will be recorded on the edited tape.
●
If you select a channel on which no signal is received, the channel number is
displayed regardless of this function setting.
* The default setting is bold in the table below.
