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 TRACKING +/– on the
VCR 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
reinsert it.
About Optimum Picture Control (OPC)
Optimum Picture Control (OPC) 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
VIDEO OPTIONS menu (with the OPC indicator
in the display window lit). For details, see page 56.
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
Set OPC to OFF in the VIDEO OPTIONS menu. The OPC indicator in the
display window goes off.
