About OPC

OPC (Optimum Picture Control) automatically improves playback quality by adjusting the unit to the condition of the video heads and tape.

The OPC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental tapes. You can play a tape using the OPC function even if the tape was not recorded with it.

Notes

The auto tracking function works automatically when you play back a tape just after inserting it.

Sufficient picture quality may not be obtained when playing back tapes recorded on another VCR or tapes in poor condition.

When a tape recorded with the copyguard system is played back, intermittent distortion may appear in the upper portion of the picture. However, this is not a malfunction of the unit.
