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.
Tomaintain better picture quality, we recommend that you setAPC to ON on PAGE2
of the ADVANCEDOPTIONS menu (The APC indicator lights up in the display
window). For details, see page 93.
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 atape and first start recording, the VCR adjusts to thetape using
the APC function (the APC indicator flashes rapidly). This adjustment is retained
until the tape is ejected.
Notes

modeon other VCRs.
• The APC function does not work if the tape speed is automatically changed from the SP to
