To deactivate the OPC function

Set OPC to OFF in the OPTIONS-1 menu. The OPC indicator in the display window turns off.

Tip

• To set tracking to the centre position, press the TRACKING + and – buttons at the same time.

Notes

•You can adjust the tracking for an NTSC-recorded tape but the tracking meter won’t be displayed.

•With the Auto Long Play function on, the OPC function will work only in SP mode. If the tape speed automatically switches from SP to LP, the OPC function turns off. If, however, the entire programme is recorded in LP mode, the OPC function will work.

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

analyses the tape. To avoid the delay, first set the VCR to recording pause (the OPC indicator flashes slowly) and press zREC to have the VCR analyse the tape (the OPC indicator

flashes rapidly) and return to recording pause. After the OPC indicator stops flashing, press XPAUSE to start recording immediately.

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