INFORMATION
● If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” on the Clock Set screen on page 11, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host
channel every hour (except 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data.
(This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these
hours — on the time displayed on the front display panel, not on the actual real time.)
The default setting of “AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”.
● If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be
performed when power is restored to the VCR.
● Poor antenna or cable signal may prevent the VCR from receiving the Auto clock setting data from the PBS channel. If this
function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be necessary to perform the Semiauto or Manual Clock Set
procedure.
Last-Function Memory
When the AC is removed from the VCR or when the power failure occurs, your settings for the following functions
are kept in memory. These settings will resume when the VCR is turned on again.

b- Recording tape speed (Z pg. 19)

NOTES:
● During playback, this function is always working even though “VIDEO
CALIBRATION” appears just at the beginning of automatic tracking.
● During recording, this function works only for the first EP recording and the first
SP recording on an inserted tape.
For timer recording, this function checks the tape condition both for the SP
recording and the EP recording before the first timer recording starts.
● When you play back rental tapes or tapes recorded on other VCRs, set this
function either “ON” or “OFF” whichever gives you the best picture.
m PICTURE CONTROL This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according
to your preference.

● When you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing a tape, be sure to set this
function to “OFF”; otherwise, the VCR status information (on-screen display) will be
recorded on the edited tape.
● If you select a channel on which no signal is received, the channel number is
displayed regardless of this function setting.
● The setting you have made is kept in memory. Even if the VCR is unplugged or the
power failure occurs, it will resume every time you turn on the VCR. (Z pg. 9)
m AUTO SP = EP TIMER When this function is set to “ON”, the VCR automatically switches to EP
ON mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the
OFF entire program while timer-recording in SP mode.
For Example . . .
Recording a program of 140 minutes in length onto a 120-minute tape
Approximately 110 minutes Approximately 30 minutes
SP mode EP mode
Make sure you set this function to “ON” before the timer-recording starts.
NOTES:
● If you have programed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second
program and those thereafter may not fit on the tape with this function set to "ON". In
this case, do not use this function, but change the tape speed manually during timer
programing.
● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this function may leave a slight
non-recorded portion at the end of the tape.
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the tape speed switches from
SP to EP mode on the tape.
● This function will not work properly on the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-
90, and T(ST)-120.
m DIGITAL R3 When this function is set to “ON”, edge correction to the luminance signal is
ON performed to enhance details. Normally set this function to “ON”.
OFF
NOTES:
● Depending on the type of tape being used, picture quality may be better with
“DIGITAL R3” set to “OFF”.
● If you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing, be sure to set “DIGITAL R3” to
“OFF” before starting.
m VIDEO STABILIZER When this function is set to “ON”, you can automatically correct vertical

m S-VHS MODE You can determine which recording mode — either S-VHS mode or VHS
ON mode — is used for recording on S-VHS tapes.
OFF When this function is set to “ON”, you can record on S-VHS tapes with
S-VHS picture quality.
When this function is set to “OFF”, you can record on S-VHS tapes with
VHS picture quality.
NOTES:
• S-VHS mode allows you to make high quality video recordings with horizontal
resolution of 400 lines, comparing with the 230 lines of resolution of
conventional VHS recordings. To achieve the highest quality picture we
recommended to record in S-VHS mode. (But remember that a conventional
VHS VCR without SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS
mode.)
• S-VHS MODE setting does not affect recording on VHS tapes. Recording on
VHS tapes is always performed in VHS mode except when using S-VHS ET
mode (Z pg. 41).
m FRONT AUX INPUT You have to select which terminal — either VIDEO (composite) or S
VIDEO VIDEO (Y/C separate signals) — to use as the video input terminal on the
S-VIDEO front panel.
Make sure to select the correct terminal; otherwise, you may fail in
recording (editing) on this VCR.
m REAR AUX INPUT You have to select which terminal — either VIDEO (composite) or S
VIDEO VIDEO (Y/C separate signals) — to use as the video input terminal on the
S-VIDEO rear panel.
Make sure to select the correct terminal; otherwise, you may fail in
recording (editing) on this VCR.
m S-VHS ET This function allows you to record on VHS tapes with S-VHS picture
ON quality. Tapes recorded using this function can be played back on a VCR
OFF equipped with the S-VHS ET function. The S-VHS indicator lights up on
the front display panel when "S-VHS ET" is set to "ON".
NOTES:
● Before recording, make sure that “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is set to “ON”. (Z pg. 37,
38)
● You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function...
– while recording is in progress.
– while timer-recording is in progress.
– while Video Calibration (Z pg. 38) is in progress.
● S-VHS ET does not work with S-VHS tapes.
● To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a long period of
time, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tapes is recommended.
● Use of high grade tapes are recommended for S-VHS ET recordings.
On some tapes, picture quality will not improves even if the S-VHS ET function is
used. Check the recording quality before you start important recordings.
● You can play back S-VHS ET recordings on most of S-VHS VCRs and of VHS VCR
equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function. (Notice some VCRs are
not compatible with this function.)
● While playing back a tape recorded with this function on some tapes, noise may
appear. (If playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.)
● During special effect playback (Z pg. 26), noise may appear. If special effect
playback is performed frequently on a tape recorded with this function, the tape may
be damaged and picture may be deteriorated.

Recording even though the REC LINK lamp blinks. When you turn off and on the DBS receiver once again, the VCR starts
recording.
● If you have connected another component other than a DBS receiver (or cable box) to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1)
connectors, be sure not to engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the
connected component is turned on.
● Satellite Auto Recording and timer-recording cannot be performed at the same time.
● If the REC LINK lamp does not light but blinks quickly in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode (even though your DBS
receiver is turned off), Satellite Auto Recording will not work properly.
If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programing” (Z pg. 32) to timer-record a satellite program.
(Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Satellite Auto Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.)

Various connection for editing tapes
The following three methods can be used for editing tapes.
● VHS to S-VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):
Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the
original VHS quality, the edited tape has better picture
quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
● S-VHS to VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):
Since the original source is recorded in S-VHS mode, the
edited tape has better picture quality than those made by
VHS-to-VHS editing.
● S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection): Original picture
quality of S-VHS made can be duplicated with minimal
picture degradation. This is the best editing method you
can use on S-VHS VCRs.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the VCR when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under
extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture
condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the
VCR turned on for a few hours to evaporate the moisture before inserting a tape.
ATTENTION
This VCR contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference can cause microcomputer to malfunction. If the
VCR does not operate correctly switch its power off and unplug the AC power cord from the AC supply. Wait for a while and
then plug the power cord back in. Eject and check the condition of the cassette. If everything appears normal, you can operate
the VCR as usual.
