* The default setting is bold in the table below.
8B.E.S.T. — ON / OFF
You can set the B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking)
system to “ON” or “OFF”. (墌pg. 23)
NOTES:
●When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON”, it
is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as
well.
●When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another
video recorder, or when using this unit as the player for
editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference.
●The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP modes only after
a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated.
It does not work during recording.
●The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Automatic Satellite
Programme Recording is in progress. (墌pg. 28)
●In the case of timer recordings, the B.E.S.T. system works
before recording is initiated.
●Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled. The
next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re-
performed.
●Pressing the unit’s 7 button while “BEST” is displayed does
not start Instant Timer Recording. (墌pg.22)
8PICTURE CONTROL— AUTO / EDIT / SOFT
This feature helps you to adjust the playback picture quality
according to your preference. Normally select “AUTO”.
AUTO: Provides the optimised picture benefits of the B.E.S.T.
Picture System.
EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording
and playback).
SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed
tapes containing a lot of noise.
NOTES:
●When you select “EDIT” or “SOFT”, 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 “B.E.S.T.” is “OFF”, “PICTURE CONTROL” switches
automatically from “AUTO” to “NORM”.
8O.S.D. — ON / OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, various operational indicators
appear on the TV screen. Messages appear in the selected
language. (墌pg. 10, 15)
NOTES:
●When you use this unit as the source player for editing, be sure
to set “O.S.D.” to “OFF” before starting.
●During playback, the operation mode indicators may be
disturbed depending on the type of tape being used.
8DIRECT REC — ON / OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, you can easily start recording
the programme that you are watching on your TV. Press and hold
7 and press 4 on the remote control, or press 7 on the unit.
NOTES:
●When you use the Direct Rec function, be sure to use a TV
offering T-V LINK, etc. and connect a fully-wired 21-pin
SCART cable between the unit and the TV. (墌pg.9)
●If “DIRECT REC” is set to “OFF”, the 7 button functions as
described in “Basic Recording” (墌pg. 21).
●During Direct Rec, “– –” appears on the front display panel.
●When “DIRECT REC” is set to “ON”, if you press any button
just after pressing 7 on the unit (or 7 and 4 on the remote
control), the unit may not function properly.
8AUTO SP]LP TIMER — ON / OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, the unit automatically
switches to LP mode to allow complete recording if there is not
enough tape to record the entire programme while timer-
recording in SP mode.
For Example:
Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-
minute tape
Make sure you set this function to “ON”, before the timer-
recording starts.
NOTES:
●If you have programmed the unit to timer-record 2 or more
programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may
not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO SP]LP TIMER” to “ON”.
In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the
tape speed manually during timer programming.
●In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this
feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of
the tape.
●There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point
on the tape where the unit switches from SP to LP mode.
●The Auto SP]LP Timer feature is not available during ITR
(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work
properly with any tapes longer than E-180, or with some tapes
of shorter lengths.
●If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the
Auto SP]LP Timer activated, and the programme goes
beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times
when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.
