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. 34).
●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. 28).

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,
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. 34).
