Using the APC Function when Playing Back a Tape
When the APC indicator is on, the APC function
automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental
tapes. You can play back a tape using the APC function even
if the tape was not recorded with it.
NOTES:
• Tapes recorded using the APC function are played
back normally on VCRs that do not have the APC
function.
• If the EDIT button inside the drop-down panel is set
to "ON" during playback, the APC function does not
operate.
• When doing audio/video insert editing, turn off the
APC function as the timing of the insert may be
incorrect when the function is on.
