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
ON in the SET UP MENU (The APC indicator
lights up in the display window).
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.
To deactivate the APC function
Press MENU and select SET UP MENU, then set APC to OFF. The APC
indicator in the display window turns off.
Tip
• To set the tracking to the centre position, press the TRACKING + and – buttons at
the same time.
Note
• There is a delay of a few 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
APC indicator flashes slowly) and press z REC to have the VCR analyse the tape
(the APC indicator flashes rapidly). After the APC indicator stops flashing, press
X PAUSE to start recording immediately. If you press X PAUSE before the APC
indicator stops flashing, the APC function is cancelled.
