Video settings [VIDEO (VHS)]

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

V, CALIBRATION (S-VHS/VHS only)

ON OFF

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

NOTES:

During playback, this function is always working even though “V, CALIBRATION” appears just at the beginning of automatic tracking.

During recording, this function works only for the first EP recording and the first SP 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 “ON” or “OFF” whichever gives you the best picture.

PICTURE CONTROL (S-VHS/VHS only)

AUTO (NORM)

EDIT SOFT SHARP

This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your preference.

AUTO:

Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted

(NORM)

automatically. When “V, CALIBRATION” is “OFF”,

 

“NORM” will appear instead of “AUTO”.

EDIT:

Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording

 

and playback).

SOFT:

Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes

 

containing much noise.

SHARP:

Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with

 

much flat, same-colored surfaces such as cartoons.

NOTES:

When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected mode will not change until you select again.

Select “EDIT” when you are editing tapes (pg. 62, 64). After you finish editing the tapes, select “AUTO” (“NORM” when “V, CALIBRATION” is “OFF”.)

DIGITAL R3 (S-VHS/VHS only)

ON OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, edge correction to the luminance signal is performed to enhance details. Normally set this function to “ON”.

NOTES:

Depending on the type of tape being used, picture quality may be better with “DIGITAL R3” set to “OFF”.

If you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing, be sure to set “DIGITAL R3” to “OFF” before starting.

VIDEO STABILIZER (S-VHS/VHS only)

ON

OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, you can automatically correct vertical vibrations in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on another VCR.

NOTES:

When you finish viewing a tape, be sure to set this function to “OFF”.

Regardless of the setting, this function has no effect during recording and during special effects playback.

The on-screen display may jitter vertically when this function is set to “ON”.

To watch recordings with close-caption, set this function to “OFF”.
