SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)
VHS MODE SET
* The default setting is bold in the table below.
8 B.E.S.T.

You can set the B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system to “ON” or
“OFF” (
੬
pg. 29).
8 PICTURE CONTROL
AUTO
EDIT
SOFT
SHARP
This feature helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your
preference. Normally select “AUTO”.
AUTO : Provides the optimised picture benefits of the B.E.S.T. Picture
System.
EDIT : Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and
playback).
SOFT : Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes
containing a lot of noise.
SHARP : Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with lots of
flat, same-coloured surfaces such as cartoons.
NOTES:
● When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected mode will not change until you
select another mode.
● When you select “EDIT” to dub tapes, be sure to select “AUTO” after you finish dubbing
the tapes.
● When “B.E.S.T.” is “OFF”, “PICTURE CONTROL” switches automatically from “AUTO” to
“NORM”.
8 AUTO SP ] LP TIMER
ON
OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, the recorder automatically switches to LP mode
to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire
programme while timer-recording in SP mode.
For Example . . .
Recording a programme of 210 minutes in length onto a 180-minute tape
Make sure you set this function to “ON”, before the timer-recording starts.
NOTES:
● If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programmes, the second
programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set “AUTO SP ] LP TIMER”
to “ON”. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually
during timer programming.
● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this feature may leave a slight non-
recorded section at the end of the tape.
● There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the tape where the
recorder switches from SP to LP mode.
● The Auto SP ]
LP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and
the feature will not work properly with any tapes longer than E-180, or with some tapes of
shorter lengths.
● If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the Auto SP ] LP Timer activated,
and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times when
the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.
