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
zREC to have the VCR analyze the tape (the APC indicator
flashes rapidly) and return to recording pause. After the APC indicator stops flashing, press
XPAUSE 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
XPAUSE again to start
recording.
