Additional Operations 010ADDO.fm Page 87 Friday, November 30, 2001 1:54 PM About the Adaptive Picture Control (APC) function The Adaptive Picture Control (APC) 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 APC to ON on PAGE2 of the ADVANCED OPTIONS menu (The APC indicator lights up in the display window). For details, see page 89. APC playback The APC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental tapes and tapes that were not recorded with APC. APC recording Whenever you insert a tape and first start recording, the VCR adjusts to the tape using the APC function (the APC indicator flashes rapidly). This adjustment is retained until the tape is ejected. Notes • The auto tracking adjustment cannot be guaranteed to work with tapes recorded in the LP mode on other VCRs. • The APC function does not work if the tape speed is automatically changed from the SP to EP mode during a timer recording when AUTO TAPE SPEED is set to ON in the ADVANCED OPTIONS menu, unless the tape has been recorded in the EP mode with the APC function. • There is a delay of about ten seconds before the VCR actually starts recording while the VCR analyzes the tape. To avoid the delay, first set the VCR to recording pause (the APC indicator flashes slowly) and press z REC to have the VCR analyze the tape (the APC indicator flashes rapidly) and return to recording pause. After the APC indicator stops flashing, press X PAUSE to start recording immediately. If you want to start recording quickly without using the APC function, first set the VCR to recording pause (the APC indicator flashes slowly) and press X PAUSE again to start recording.
