OPC recording
Whenever you insert a tape and start recording for the first time, the VCR adjusts to the tape using the OPC function (the OPC indicator flashes rapidly). This adjustment is retained until the tape is ejected.
To deactivate the OPC function
Set OPC to OFF in the VIDEO OPTIONS menu. The OPC indicator in the display window goes off.
