Notes
• This VCR records the picture in the EP mode though
you set the recording speed to "6" or "8".
This VCR cannot record in the SP mode.
• Whenever you insert a tape and first start recording,
Adaptive Picture Control (APC) automatically
improves recording quality by adjusting the VCR to
the condition of the video heads and tape. There is
about a 6-seconds delay before the VCR actually
starts recording when r REC is pressed.
• This VCR is provided with a clog detection function.
In time lapse modes, if recording is not made
properly, the recording indicator will flash on the
display window and a warning signal will be output
from the WARNING OUT terminal. In this case, stop
recording immediately and check the VCR.
