About the Optimum Picture Control (OPC) function
The Optimum Picture Control (OPC)
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 OPC to ON in the
OPTIONS-1 menu (the OPC indicator lights
up in the display window). For details, see
page 84.
OPC playback
The OPC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental
tapes and tapes that were not recorded with OPC.
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 OPTIONS-1 menu. The OPC indicator in the display
window turns off.
Tip
• To set tracking to the centre position, press the PROGRAM + and – buttons on the
VCR 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 z REC to have the VCR
analyse the tape (the OPC indicator flashes rapidly) and return to recording pause.
www
After the OPC indicator stops flashing, press X PAUSE 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 X PAUSE
again to start recording.

Adjusting the picture
Adjusting the tracking
Although the VCR automatically adjusts the
tracking when playing a tape (the
indicator flashes in the display window, then
turns off), distortion may occur if the
recording is in poor condition. In this case,
manually adjust the tracking.
During playback, press PROGRAM +/– on
the VCR to display the tracking meter. The
distortion should disappear as you press one
of the two buttons (the
indicator lights up).
To resume automatic tracking adjustments, eject the tape and re-insert it.
