Adjusting the tracking

Although the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking

when playing a tape (the indicator flashes in the display window, then turns off), distortion may occur if the recording is in poor condition. In this case, manually adjust the tracking.

Press TRACKING +/– to display the tracking meter. The distortion should disappear as you press one of

the two tracking buttons (the indicator lights up). To resume automatic tracking adjustment, eject the tape and reinsert it.

•If you move the pointer (V) on the bar indication while searching, the VCR searches for the new reset point.

•With the bar indication on, the M FF/ , and m REW/ < buttons on the remote commander work only for moving the pointer (V) and are not used for normal tape operation. The M FF and m REW buttons on the VCR are used for normal tape operation. Note, however, if you press these buttons on the VCR, searching is canceled.

About the Adaptive Picture Control (APC) function

The Adaptive Picture Control (APC) function automatically improves recording and playback quality by adjusting the VCR to the condition of the video heads and tape. To maintain better picture quality, we recommend that you set APC to SI on PÁGINA2 of the OPCIONES menu (The APC indicator lights up in the display window). For details, see page 63.

APC playback

The APC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental tapes and tapes that were not recorded with APC.

APC recording

Whenever you insert a tape and first start recording, the VCR adjusts to the tape using the APC function (the APC indicator flashes rapidly). This adjustment is retained until the tape is ejected.

Notes

•The auto tracking adjustment cannot be guaranteed to work with tapes recorded in the LP mode on other VCRs.

•The APC function does not work if the tape speed is automatically changed from the SP to EP mode during a timer recording when VEL. AUTO. CINTA is set to SI in the OPCIONES menu, unless the tape has been recorded in the EP mode with the APC function.

•There is a delay of about ten seconds before the VCR actually starts recording while the VCR

analyzes the tape. To avoid the delay, first set the VCR to recording pause (the APC indicator flashes slowly) and press z REC to have the VCR analyze the tape (the APC indicator

flashes rapidly) and return to recording pause. After the APC indicator stops flashing, press X PAUSE to start recording immediately.

If you want to start recording quickly without using the APC function, first set the VCR to recording pause (the APC indicator flashes slowly) and press X PAUSE again to start recording.
