You can make the tape playback picture softer, sharper, more natural, or more distinct by adjusting the SmartPicture setting. Follow the steps below to adjust the SmartPicture setting.

1

Press the VCR button, then press the SMARTPICTURE button. The current setting will appear on the screen for about five seconds.

AUTO

2

While the setting appears, press the SMARTPICTURE button repeatedly to choose DISTINCT, SOFT, SHARP, or AUTO/NATURAL (depending on the setting of DSPC).

AUTO/NATURAL: This is generally the preferred setting. If DSPC is ON, AUTO will be selected automatically. This means the VCR is setting the picture quality with DSPC. If DSPC is OFF, the SmartPicture setting may be NATURAL, meaning the original picture appears and the VCR does not adjust the picture quality. Details about DSPC are on page 59.

DISTINCT: Choose to emphasize details in the picture.

SOFT:Choose to soften the picture.

SHARP:Choose to emphasize the edge of the picture.
