Notes
• To play a tape in stereo, you must use the A/V connections.
• When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural
regardless of the AUDIO MONITOR setting.
• If the AUDIO MONITOR button does not function, check that MEZCL. AUDIO in
the AJUSTES ESPECIALES is set to NO. For details, see page 56.
How sound is recorded on a video tape
The VCR records sound onto two separate tracks. Hi-fi audio is recorded
onto the main track along with the picture. Monaural sound is recorded
onto the normal audio track along the edge of the tape.

Adjusting the picture
Adjusting the tracking
Although the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking when playing a tape
(the indicator flashes in the display window, then turns off), distortion
may occur if the recording is in poor condition. In this case, manually adjust
the tracking.
Press the TR/– buttons on the VCR to
display the tracking meter. The distortion should
disappear as you press one of the two tracking
buttons (the indicator lights up). To resume
automatic tracking adjustment, eject the tape and
re-insert it.

About the Adaptive Picture Control (APC) function
The Adaptive Picture Control (APC) function
automatically improves recording and playback
quality by adjusting the VCR to the condition of
the video heads and tape. To maintain better
picture quality, we recommend that you set APC to
SI in the AJUSTES ESPECIALES (The APC
indicator lights up in the display window). For
details, see page 56.
APC playback
The APC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental
tapes and tapes that were not recorded with APC.
Whenever you insert a tape and first start recording, the VCR adjusts to the
tape using the APC function (the APC indicator flashes rapidly). This
adjustment is retained until the tape is ejected.
To deactivate the APC function
Set APC to NO in the AJUSTES ESPECIALES. The APC indicator in the
display window turns off.
• To set the tracking to the center position, press the TR and – buttons at
• There is a delay of a few seconds before the VCR actually starts recording while the
VCR analyzes the tape. To avoid the delay, first set the VCR to recording pause (the
APC indicator flashes slowly) and press
z
REC to have the VCR analyze the tape
(the APC indicator flashes rapidly). After the APC indicator stops flashing, press
PAUSE to start recording immediately. If you press
X
PAUSE before the APC
indicator stops flashing, the APC function is cancelled.
