Adjusting the picture
The VCR automatically adjusts the picture for the best possible
playback or recording. If, however, you find the automatic adjustment
unsatisfactory, you can adjust the picture manually.
Adjusting the tracking
Though the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking when playing a tape
(the AUTO TRACKING indicator flashes in the display window, then
lights steadily), distortion may occur if the tape was recorded in poor
condition. If so, manually adjust the tracking condition.

About Adaptive Picture Control (APC)
Adaptive Picture Control (APC) automatically improves recording and
playback quality by adjusting the VCR to the condition of the video
heads and tape. To maintain better picture quality, press APC on the
VCR so the APC indicator in the display window lights.
To use APC during playback
The APC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including
rental tapes. You can play a tape using the APC function even if the tape
was not recorded with it.
To use APC while recording
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. There is a short
delay before the VCR actually starts recording while the VCR analyzes
the tape.
If you want to start recording precisely the first time you record, set the
VCR to recording pause mode (the APC indicator flashes slowly) and
press
r
REC to let the VCR analyze the tape. When the APC indicator
stops flashing, press
P
PAUSE to start recording. Recording begins
immediately.
To deactivate the APC
Press APC on the VCR. The APC indicator in the display window goes
off.
