Tapes shot in LP mode are recommended to be played back on this unit. Playback may not be successful on other units.

CINEMA –Inserts black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. During playback on wide-screen TVs, the black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are cut and the screen ratio becomes 16:9. During playback/recording on 4:3 TVs/LCD monitor/viewfinder, black bands are inserted at the top and bottom of the screen and the image appears like a letterboxed 16:9 movie.

OFF–Select “OFF” when you don’t want to use either of the above modes.

A discriminating signal is automatically recorded when you select either “SQUEEZE” or “CINEMA” for recording. If your wide TV has the automatic discriminating function, connect an S-Video cable between S2 connector on the TV and the S-Video output connector on the Docking Station. During playback, the image is naturally expanded to fit the wide screen, with no proportional distortion.

If your wide screen TV has no S2 connector, automatic signal discrimination can not be performed, and it should be done manually.

NOTES:

When playing back through a video cassette recorder, or to a wide-screen TV, that does not have the automatic discriminating function, change the setting on the TV manually.

When playing back a tape recorded in Squeeze and Cinema, Squeeze cannot be distinguished from Cinema during fast-forward or rewind.

During Full-Auto operation, both Squeeze and Cinema modes are unusable.
