This feature helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your
preference. Normally select "NORM".
NORM: Picture quality is adjusted automatically.
EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and playback).
SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes containing a
lot of noise.
SHARP: Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with lots of flat,
same-colored surfaces such as cartoons.
NOTES:
When you select "EDIT", "SOFT" or "SHARP", the selected mode will not change until you
select another mode.
When you select "EDIT" to dub tapes, be sure to select "NORM" after you finish dubbing
the tapes.
When this function is set to "ON", various operational indicators appear on the TV
screen. Messages appear in the selected language. (
NOTES:
When you use this unit as the source player for editing, be sure to set "SUPERIMPOSE" to
"OFF" before starting.
During playback, the operation mode indicators may be disturbed depending on the type
of tape being used.
When this function is set to "ON", the unit automatically switches to EP mode to
allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire program
while timer-recording in SP mode.
For Example:
Recording a program of 140 minutes in length onto a 120-minute tape
Approximately 110 minutes
SP mode
Total 140 minutes
Make sure you set this function to "ON", before the timer-recording starts.
NOTES:
If you have programmed the unit to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second program
and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set "AUTO SP]EP TIMER" to "ON". In
this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually during
timer programming.
In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this feature may leave a slight non-
recorded section at the end of the tape.
There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the tape where the unit
switches from SP to EP mode.
The Auto SP EP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and
]
the feature will not work properly on the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and
T(ST)-120.
* The default setting is bold in the table below.
