SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)

 

 

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

 

 

8 S-VHS ET

You can record in SP mode on VHS cassettes with S-VHS picture quality. You can

ON

play back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on most of S-VHS recorders

OFF

and of VHS recorders equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function.

 

(Notice some recorders are not compatible with the S-VHS ET function.)

 

When this function is set to “ON”, the S-VHS indicator lights up on the front

 

display panel.

 

 

NOTES:

 

 

You can activate the S-VHS ET function only before you start recording on a VHS cassette.

 

Before recording, make sure that “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is set to “ON”. ( below)

 

You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function:

 

— while recording is in progress.

 

— while timer-recording or Instant Timer Recording ( pg. 33, 36) is in progress.

 

— while Video Calibration ( pg. 35) is in progress.

 

The S-VHS ET function does not work with S-VHS cassettes.

 

To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a long period of time,

 

S-VHS recording on S-VHS cassettes is recommended.

 

Use of high grade tapes is recommended for S-VHS ET recordings. On some tapes, picture

 

quality will not improve even if the S-VHS ET function is used. Check the recording quality

 

before you start important recordings.

 

While playing back a tape recorded using the S-VHS ET function on some recorders, noise

 

may appear. (If playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.)

 

In the variable speed search, still, slow-motion or frame-by-frame playback modes

 

( pg. 29), noise may appear. If these modes are performed frequently on a tape recorded

 

using the S-VHS ET function, the tape may be damaged and the picture may be

 

deteriorated.

 

 

 

8 VIDEO CALIBRATION

When this function is set to “ON”, this unit checks the condition of the tape in use

ON

during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible

OFF

pictures. This takes place whenever you play back a tape or start recording after

 

inserting a tape. ( pg. 35)

 

 

8 PICTURE CONTROL

This feature helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your

AUTO

preference. Normally select “AUTO”.

EDIT

AUTO:

Provides the optimised picture benefits of the VIDEO CALIBRATION

SOFT

 

Picture System.

SHARP

EDIT:

Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and playback).

 

 

SOFT:

Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes containing a

 

 

lot of noise.

 

SHARP

Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with lots of flat,

 

 

same-coloured surfaces such as cartoons.

 

NOTES:

 

 

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

 

select another mode.

 

When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes, be sure to select “AUTO” after you finish dubbing the

 

tapes.

 

 

When “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is “OFF”, “PICTURE CONTROL” switches automatically

 

from “AUTO” to “NORM”.
