B.E.S.T. — ON/OFF

When B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalized Signal Tracking) system 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.

NOTE:

The VCR checks the tape condition for about 7 seconds, then starts recording. To make sure you record the desired scene or program completely, perform the following steps:

APress and hold PAUSE (9), and press REC (7). After about 7 seconds, the VCR re-enters Record Pause mode.

BPress PLAY (4) to start recording.

PICTURE CONTROL — AUTO(NORM)/EDIT/SOFT/SHARP

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

AUTO (NORM): Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted automatically. When “B.E.S.T.” 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.

NOTE:

Select “EDIT” when you are editing tapes. After you finish editing the tapes, select “AUTO”.

When this function is set to “ON”, various VCR status information (on-screen display) appears on the screen.

NOTE:

When you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing a tape, be sure to set this function to “OFF”; otherwise, the VCR status information (on-screen display) will be recorded on the edited tape.

AUTO SP]EP TIMER — ON/OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, the VCR automatically switches to EP mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire program 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

NOTES:

●If you have programed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more programs, do not use this function, but change the tape speed manually during timer programing.

●There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the tape speed switches from SP to EP mode on the tape.

●This function is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and will not work properly on the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and T(ST)-120.

VIDEO STABILIZER — 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.

NOTE:

To watch recordings with close-caption or when you finish viewing a tape, set this function to “OFF”.
