Active Video
Calibration
(VHS deck)
Active Video Calibration checks the condition of the tape
in use during playback and recording, and compensates
to provide the highest-possible playback and recording
pictures. You can set “VIDEO CALIBRATION” to “ON” or
“OFF” to your preference (
墌
pg. 73).
Playback
The VCR assesses the quality
of the tape once you initiate
playback.
●
The VCR adjusts the playback
picture quality based on the
quality of the tape in use.
●
Video Calibration is active
during automatic tracking. The
Video Calibration screen
appears blinking on the TV screen.
NOTES:
●
When watching a tape recorded with “VIDEO CALIBRATION”
set to “ON”, it is recommended that you leave VIDEO
CALIBRATION on during playback as well.
●
When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another VCR,
or when using this VCR as the player for editing, set VIDEO
CALIBRATION to your preference (
墌
pg. 73).
●
The Video Calibration screen only appears at the beginning of
automatic tracking. Even though it doesn’t appear after that,
the Video Calibration function is operative.
Recording
The VCR assesses the quality
of the tape once you initiate
recording.
●
The VCR spends approximately
7 seconds assessing the
condition of the tape, then
begins recording.
NOTES:
●
The Video Calibration works for
both SP and EP modes only
after a tape has been inserted
and the Record mode is first
initiated. It does not work
during recording.
●
In the case of timer recordings,
the Video Calibration works
before recording is initiated.
●
Once the cassette is ejected,
the Video Calibration data is
cancelled. The next time the
cassette is used for recording,
Video Calibration is re-
performed.
ATTENTION
Since the Video Calibration works before recording actually
starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after
REC
(
7
) and
PLAY
(
4
) on the Remote are pressed, or
REC
(
7
) on the VCR is pressed. To make sure you record the
desired scene or program in its entirety, first perform the
following steps:
A
Press and hold
PAUSE
(
9
) and press
REC
(
7
) to engage
the Record Pause mode.
●
The VCR then automatically checks the condition of the
tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-enters Record
Pause mode.
B
Press
PLAY
(
4
) to start recording.
If you want to bypass the Video Calibration and begin
recording immediately, set “VIDEO CALIBRATION” to “OFF”
(
墌
pg. 73).
