Video settings “VIDEO FUNCTION”

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

 “V. CALIBRATION”	When this function is set to ÒONÓ, this VCR checks the condition of the tape in use
(S-VHS/VHS only)	during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible
“ON”	pictures. This takes place whenever you play back a tape or start recording after
ÒOFFÓ	inserting a tape.

	NOTES:
	● During playback, this function is always working even though ÒVIDEO
	CALIBRATIONÓ appears just at the beginning of automatic tracking.
	● During recording, this function works only for the first SP recording and the first
	EP recording on an inserted tape.
	For timer recording, this function checks the tape condition both for the SP
	recording and the EP recording before the first timer recording starts.
	● When you play back rental tapes or tapes recorded on other VCRs, set this function
	either ÒONÓ or ÒOFFÓ whichever gives you the best picture.
 “PICTURE CONTROL”	This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your
(S-VHS/VHS only)	preference.
“AUTO” (ÒNORMÓ)	“AUTO” : Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted automatically.
ÒEDITÓ	(ÒNORMÓ)	When ÒV. CALIBRATIONÓ is ÒOFFÓ, ÒNORMÓ will appear instead of
ÒSOFTÓ		ÒAUTOÓ. The quality is not adjusted automatically when ÒNORMÓ
ÒSHARPÓ		appears.
	ÒEDITÓ	: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and
		playback).
	ÒSOFTÓ	: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes containing
		much noise.
	ÒSHARPÓ	: Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with much flat,
		same-colored surfaces such as cartoons.
	NOTES:
	● When you select ÒEDITÓ, ÒSOFTÓ or ÒSHARPÓ, the selected mode will not change
	until you select again.
	● Select ÒEDITÓ when you are editing tapes ( page 20). After you finish editing the
	tapes, select ÒAUTOÓ (ÒNORMÓ when ÒV. CALIBRATIONÓ is ÒOFFÓ).
 “DIGITAL R3”	When this function is set to ÒONÓ, edge correction to the luminance signal is
(S-VHS/VHS only)	performed to enhance details. Normally set this function to ÒONÓ.
“ON”	NOTES:
ÒOFFÓ
	● Depending on the type of tape being used, picture quality may be better with
	ÒDIGITAL R3Ó set to ÒOFFÓ.
	● If you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing, be sure to set ÒDIGITAL R3Ó
	to ÒOFFÓ before starting.
 “VIDEO STABILIZER”	When this function is set to ÒONÓ, you can correct vertical vibrations in the picture
(S-VHS/VHS only)	when playing back unstable recordings made on another VCR.
ÒONÓ	This function is available only when playing back tapes recorded in EP mode.
“OFF”	NOTES:
	● When you finish viewing a tape, be sure to set this function to ÒOFFÓ.
	● Regardless of the setting, this function has no effect during recording and during
	special effects playback.
	● To watch recordings with close-caption, set this function to ÒOFFÓ.
	● When this function is set to ÒONÓ, the vertical vibrations may occur. Press
	[CHANNEL +] or [Ð] on the VCR (or [TV/VCR CH +] or [Ð] on the Remote) to
	eliminate vibration.
