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 goes off), distortion
may occur if the tape was recorded in poor condition. In this case, manually
adjust the tracking.
During playback, press TR/– 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.
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 (with the OPC
indicator in the display window lit). For details,
see page 63.
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 goes off.

Tip
• To set tracking to the centre position, press the TR and – buttons at the
same time.
Notes
• You can adjust the tracking for the 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
r
REC to have the VCR analyse the
tape (the OPC indicator flashes rapidly). After the OPC indicator stops flashing,
press
P
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
P
PAUSE to start recording.
