* The default setting is bold in the table below.

8B.E.S.T. ON / OFF

You can set the B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system to “ON” or “OFF”. ( pg. 23)

NOTES:

When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON”, it is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as well.

When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another video recorder, or when using this unit as the player for editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference.

The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP modes only after a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated. It does not work during recording.

The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is in progress. ( pg. 28)

In the case of timer recordings, the B.E.S.T. system works before recording is initiated.

Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled. The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re- performed.

Pressing the unit’s 7 button while “BEST” is displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording. ( pg. 22)

8PICTURE CONTROLAUTO / EDIT / SOFT

This feature helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your preference. Normally select “AUTO”.

AUTO: Provides the optimised picture benefits of the B.E.S.T. Picture System.

EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and playback).

SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes containing a lot of noise.

NOTES:

When you select “EDIT” or “SOFT”, 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”.

8O.S.D. ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, various operational indicators appear on the TV screen. Messages appear in the selected language. ( pg. 10, 15)

NOTES:

When you use this unit as the source player for editing, be sure to set “O.S.D.” to “OFF” before starting.

During playback, the operation mode indicators may be disturbed depending on the type of tape being used.

8DIRECT REC ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, you can easily start recording the programme that you are watching on your TV. Press and hold 7 and press 4 on the remote control, or press 7 on the unit.

NOTES:

When you use the Direct Rec function, be sure to use a TV

offering T-V LINK, etc. and connect a fully-wired 21-pin SCART cable between the unit and the TV. ( pg. 9)

If “DIRECT REC” is set to “OFF”, the 7 button functions as described in “Basic Recording” ( pg. 21).

During Direct Rec, “– –” appears on the front display panel.

When “DIRECT REC” is set to “ON”, if you press any button just after pressing 7 on the unit (or 7 and 4 on the remote control), the unit may not function properly.

8AUTO SP]LP TIMER — ON / OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, the unit automatically switches to LP mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire 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 unit 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 unit 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.
