begins with the picture level optimized.

during recording.
	ACTIVE VIDEO CALIBRATION

●In the case of timer

recording, calibration takes place for both SP and EP before the first timer recording after inserting the cassette (regardless of the tape speed selected for that recording).

●Once the cassette is ejected, the calibration data is canceled. The next time the cassette is used for recording, calibration is re-performed.

●While Active Video Calibration is operative, the PAUSE button will not function.

●SUPERIMPOSE must be set to "ON" or the Active Video Calibration screen will not appear (☞ pg. 20).

Playback

The VCR assesses the quality of the tape once you start playback.

Before beginning, perform steps 1 and 2 on page 15 ("Simple Playback") before continuing.

1	START PLAYBACK
	Press PLAY.
	● The VCR adjusts the
	playback picture quality
	based on the quality of	VIDEO CALIBRATION
	the tape in use.

NOTES:

●When using rental tapes,

or tapes recorded on other VCRs, set “PLAYBACK” in step 4 of the Preparation procedure to either “ON” or “OFF” as desired to give the best picture (☞ pg. 24).

●The Video Calibration screen only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even though the screen doesn't appear after that, the Active Video calibration function is operative.

●“SUPERIMPOSE” must be set to "ON" or the Video Calibration screen will not appear (☞ pg. 20).

ATTENTION:

■As calibration takes place before recording actually starts, there is a delay of about 7 seconds after REC and PLAY on the remote, or REC on the VCR's front panel, are pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or program completely, first perform the following steps:

1)Press and hold PAUSE, and press REC to engage the RECORD PAUSE mode.

●The VCR then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, after about 7 seconds, re-enters RECORD PAUSE.

2)Press PLAY to start recording.

■If you want to bypass Active Video Calibration and start recording right away, set "RECORDING" to "OFF" in step 4 of the Preparation procedure (☞ pg. 24).
