Active Video

Calibration

(VHS deck)

Active Video Calibration checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You can set “VIDEO CALIBRATION” to “ON” or “OFF” to your preference ( pg. 73).

Playback

The VCR assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate playback.

● The VCR adjusts the playback picture quality based on the quality of the tape in use.

Recording

The VCR assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate recording.

●The VCR spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of the tape, then begins recording.

NOTES:

●The Video Calibration works for both SP and EP modes only after a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated. It does not work during recording.

●In the case of timer recordings, the Video Calibration works before recording is initiated.

●Once the cassette is ejected, the Video Calibration data is cancelled. The next time the cassette is used for recording, Video Calibration is re- performed.

DURING VIDEO

CALIBRATION

VIDEO CALIBRATION COMPLETE

●Video Calibration is active during automatic tracking. The Video Calibration screen appears blinking on the TV screen.

NOTES:

●When watching a tape recorded with “VIDEO CALIBRATION” set to “ON”, it is recommended that you leave VIDEO CALIBRATION on during playback as well.

●When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another VCR,

or when using this VCR as the player for editing, set VIDEO CALIBRATION to your preference ( pg. 73).

●The Video Calibration screen only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even though it doesn’t appear after that, the Video Calibration function is operative.

ATTENTION

Since the Video Calibration works before recording actually starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after REC (7) and PLAY (4) on the Remote are pressed, or

REC (7) on the VCR is pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or program in its entirety, first perform the following steps:

APress and hold PAUSE (9) and press REC (7) to engage the Record Pause mode.

●The VCR then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-enters Record Pause mode.

BPress PLAY (4) to start recording.

If you want to bypass the Video Calibration and begin recording immediately, set “VIDEO CALIBRATION” to “OFF” ( pg. 73).
