The DSPC (Digital Studio Picture Control)
system checks the condition of the tape in use

playback pictures. Set the DSPC to “ON” or

Notes:
• The DSPC system works for both SP, LP and SLP
modes only after a tape has been inserted and the
Record mode is first initiated. Also, it works if the
colour mode is changed. It does not work during
recording.
• In the case of timer recording, the DSPC system
works before recording is initiated.
• Once the cassette is ejected after recording, the
DSPC data is cancelled. The next time the cassette is
used for recording, DSPC is re-performed.
• When “DSPC’ is displayed, the VCR does not start
One Touch Recording. (

• Since the DSPC system works before recording
actually starts, there is a delay of approximately 7
seconds after

following steps:

• The VCR then automatically checks the condition of
the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-
enters RECORD PAUSE.

REC/OTR
●
again to start recording.
• If you want to bypass the DSPC system and begin
recording immediately set “DSPC” to “OFF”.
• The VCR adjusts the playback picture quality based
on the quality of the tape in use.
• When watching a tape recorded with “DSPC” set to
“ON”, it is recommended that you leave DSPC to
“ON” during playback as well.
• “DSPC” only appears at the beginning of automatic
tracking. Even though it doesn’t appear after that,
the DSPC function is operative.
