Sony SLV-SF900G manual OPC recording, To deactivate the OPC function

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 VIDEO OPTIONS menu. The OPC indicator in the display window turns off.

Notes

•You can adjust the tracking for an NTSC-recorded tape but the tracking meter won’t be displayed.

•With the Auto Long Play function ON, the OPC function will work only in SP mode. If the tape speed automatically switches from SP to LP, the OPC function turns off. However, if the entire programme is recorded in LP mode, the OPC function will work.

•There is a delay of about ten seconds before the VCR actually starts recording while the VCR analyses the tape. To avoid the delay, first set the VCR to recording pause (the OPC indicator flashes slowly) and press z REC to have the VCR analyse the tape (the OPC indicator flashes rapidly) and return to recording pause. After the OPC indicator stops flashing, press X PAUSE to start recording immediately. If you want to start recording quickly without using the OPC function, first set the VCR to recording pause (the OPC indicator flashes slowly) and press X PAUSE to start recording.
