VHS MODE SET

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

8 B.E.S.T.	You can set the B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system to “ON” or
ON	“OFF” ( pg. 29).
OFF
8 PICTURE CONTROL	This feature helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your
AUTO	preference. Normally select “AUTO”.
EDIT	AUTO:	Provides the optimised picture benefits of the B.E.S.T. Picture
SOFT		System.
SHARP	EDIT:	Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and
	SOFT:	playback).
		Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes
	SHARP:	containing a lot of noise.
		Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with lots of
		flat, same-coloured surfaces such as cartoons.
	NOTES:
	● When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected mode will not change until you
	select another mode.
	● When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes, be sure to select “AUTO” after you finish dubbing the
	tapes.
	● When “B.E.S.T.” is “OFF”, “PICTURE CONTROL” switches automatically from “AUTO” to
	“NORM”.
8 AUTO SP]LP TIMER	When this function is set to “ON”, the recorder automatically switches to LP mode
ON	to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire
OFF	programme while timer-recording in SP mode.
	For Example . . .
	Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-minute tape
	Approximately 150 minutes		Approximately 60 minutes
	SP mode		LP mode
		Total 210	minutes
	Make sure you set this function to “ON”, before the timer-recording starts.
	NOTES:
	● If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programmes, the second
	programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO SP]LP TIMER” to
	“ON”. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually
	during timer programming.
	● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this feature may leave a slight non-
	recorded section at the end of the tape.
	● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the tape where the
	recorder switches from SP to LP mode.
	● The Auto SP]LP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and
	the feature will not work properly with any tapes longer than E-180, or with some tapes of
	shorter lengths.
	● If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the Auto SP]LP Timer activated,
	and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times when
	the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.
