About the Adaptive Picture Control (APC) function
The Adaptive Picture Control (APC) function
automatically improves recording and playback
quality by adjusting the unit 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 (with the APC indicator in the
display window lit). For details, see page 31.
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 start recording for the first time, the unit
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
Set APC to OFF in the SET UP MENU. The APC indicator in the display
window goes off.
Tip
• To set the tracking to the centre position, press the TRACKING + and – buttons on
the unit at the same time.
Note
• There is a delay of a few seconds before the unit actually starts recording while the
unit analyses the tape. To avoid the delay, first set the unit to recording pause (the
APC indicator flashes slowly) and press r REC to have the unit analyse the tape
(the APC indicator flashes rapidly). After the APC indicator stops flashing, press
P PAUSE to start recording immediately. If you want to start recording quickly
without using the APC function, first set the unit to recording pause (the APC
indicator flashes slowly) and press P PAUSE to start recording.
