Video settings [VIDEO FUNCTION]

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

 V. CALIBRATION	When this function is set to “ON”, this VCR checks the condition of the
(S-VHS/VHS only)	tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide
	the highest-possible pictures. This takes place whenever you play back a
ON
	tape or start recording after inserting a tape.
OFF
	NOTES:
	● During playback, this function is always working even though
	“VIDEO CALIBRATION” appears just at the beginning of automatic tracking.
	● During recording, this function works only for the first SP recording and the first
	EP recording on an inserted tape.
	For timer recording, this function checks the tape condition both for the SP
	recording and the EP recording before the first timer recording starts.
	● When you play back rental tapes or tapes recorded on other VCRs, set this
	function either “ON” or “OFF” whichever gives you the best picture.
 PICTURE CONTROL	This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according
(S-VHS/VHS only)	to your preference.
	AUTO:	Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted
AUTO (NORM)
	(NORM)	automatically.
EDIT
		When “V. CALIBRATION” is “OFF”, “NORM” will appear
SOFT
		instead of “AUTO”. The quality is not adjusted
SHARP
		automatically when “NORM” appears.
	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.
	NOTES:
	● When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected mode will not
	change until you select again.
	● Select “EDIT” when you are editing tapes ( pg. 67). After you finish editing the
	tapes, select “AUTO” (“NORM” when “V. CALIBRATION” is “OFF”.)
 DIGITAL R3 (S-VHS/VHS only)	When this function is set to “ON”, edge correction to the luminance signal
ON	is performed to enhance details. Normally set this function to “ON”.
OFF	NOTES:
	● Depending on the type of tape being used, picture quality may be better with
	“DIGITAL R3” set to “OFF”.
	● If you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing, be sure to set “DIGITAL
	R3” to “OFF” before starting.
 VIDEO STABILIZER	When this function is set to “ON”, you can correct vertical vibrations in
(S-VHS/VHS only)	the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on another
	VCR.
ON
	This function is available only when playing back tapes recorded in EP mode.
OFF	NOTES:
	● When you finish viewing a tape, be sure to set this function to “OFF”.
	● Regardless of the setting, this function has no effect during recording and during
	special effects playback.
	● To watch recordings with close-caption, set this function to “OFF”.
	● When this function is set to “ON”, the vertical vibrations may occur. Press
	CHANNEL + or – on the VCR (or TV/VCR CH + or – on the Remote) to
	eliminate vibration.
