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.
During playback, press TR/– to display
the tracking meter. The distortion should disappear
as you press one of the two buttons (the
indicator
lights up). To resume automatic tracking
adjustments, eject the tape and re-insert it.
About the Optimum Picture Control (OPC) function
The Optimum Picture Control (OPC) 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 OPC to ON in
the OPTIONS-1 menu (the OPC indicator lights up
in the display window). For details, see page 58.
OPC playback
The OPC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental tapes
and tapes that were not recorded with OPC.
OPC recording
Whenever you insert a tape and start recording for the first time, the VCR adjusts to
the tape using the OPC function (the OPC indicator flashes rapidly). This adjustment
is retained until the tape is ejected.
To deactivate the OPC function
Set OPC to OFF in the OPTIONS-1 menu. The OPC indicator in the display window
turns off.
