CALIBRATION
VIDEO CALIBRATION COMPLETE
●Video Calibration is active during automatic tracking. The Video Calibration screen appears blinking on the TV screen.
NOTES:
●When watching a tape recorded with “VIDEO CALIBRATION” set to “ON”, it is recommended that you leave VIDEO CALIBRATION on during playback as well.
●When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another VCR,
or when using this VCR as the player for editing, set VIDEO CALIBRATION to your preference ( pg. 73).
●The Video Calibration screen only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even though it doesn’t appear after that, the Video Calibration function is operative.

APress and hold PAUSE (9) and press REC (7) to engage the Record Pause mode.

If you want to bypass the Video Calibration and begin recording immediately, set “VIDEO CALIBRATION” to “OFF” ( pg. 73).
