Second Audio Recording

This unit’s built-in MTS decoder enables reception of Multichannel TV Sound broadcast. To record a SAP program received, set “2ND AUDIO RECORD” to “ON”. ( pg. 72)

NOTE:

When the channel is changed on the unit;

●The “STEREO” indicator appears on the screen for about 5 seconds if the program is a stereo broadcast.

●The “SAP” indicator appears on the screen for about 5 seconds if the program is a SAP broadcast.

●Both indicators appear when a stereo program is accompanied by SAP sound.

The 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. 71)

Playback

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

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

●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 unit as the player for editing, set “VIDEO CALIBRATION” to your preference. ( pg. 71)

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

Recording

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

●The unit 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.

ATTENTION:

Since the Video Calibration works before recording actually starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after 7 and 4 on the Remote are pressed, or 7 on the unit is pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or program in its entirety, first perform the following steps:

AWhile holding 9, press 7 to engage the Record Pause mode.

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

B Press 4 to start recording.

If you want to bypass the Video Calibration and begin recording immediately, set “VIDEO CALIBRATION” to “OFF”. ( pg. 71)
