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
up). To resume automatic tracking
adjustments, eject the tape and re-insert it.
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 65.
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.
