SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)

VHS MODE SET (cont.)

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

8 AUTO SP]EP TIMER

 

When this function is set to “ON”, the VCR automatically switches to EP mode to

ON

 

allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire program

OFF

 

while timer-recording in SP mode.

 

 

For Example . . .

 

 

 

 

Recording a program of 140 minutes in length onto a 120-minute tape

 

 

Approximately 110 minutes

Approximately 30 minutes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SP mode

EP mode

 

 

 

Total 140

minutes

 

 

 

Make sure you set this function to “ON”, before the timer-recording starts.

 

 

NOTES:

 

 

 

 

If you have programed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second program

 

 

and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO SP]EP TIMER” to “ON”. In

 

 

this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually during

 

 

timer programing.

 

 

 

 

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 VCR

 

 

switches from SP to EP mode.

 

 

 

 

The Auto SP]EP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and

 

 

the feature will not work properly on the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and

 

 

T(ST)-120.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8 BLUE BACK

 

When this function is set to “ON”, the TV screen becomes all blue when receiving

ON

 

a channel not in use.

 

 

OFF

 

NOTE:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you want to receive an unstable channel with poor signals, set this function to “OFF”.

 

 

 

 

 

8 DIGITAL TBC/NR

 

Your VCR is equipped with the Digital TBC (Time Base Corrector) that removes

ON

 

jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with old tapes

OFF

 

and rental cassettes.

 

 

 

 

The on/off of Digital 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise and enables clear

 

 

picture reproduction is also linked to this function.

 

 

We recommend that you set “DIGITAL TBC/NR” to “ON” when ...

 

 

... playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder.

 

 

... playing back a tape repeatedly used.

 

 

... using this VCR as the source player for editing.

 

 

NOTES:

 

 

 

 

If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, the picture may

 

 

become more stable with Digital TBC/NR set to off.

 

 

When “DIGITAL TBC/NR” is set to “ON”, if you play back a tape where certain types of

 

 

signals are recorded (using a PC or some character generators), the playback picture may

 

 

be distorted. If this is the case, set “DIGITAL TBC/NR” to “OFF”.
