Tips
• You can store information for up to 24 programmes on a single list.
• While recording, you can display the SMART SEARCH screen using the
SMART SEARCH button.  If you decide to stop recording, press SMART SEARCH
to make the SMART SEARCH screen disappear first.  Then press p STOP.
Notes
• If you begin recording a programme “D” from the middle of a previously recorded
programme “A” and into another previously recorded programme “B,” the Smart
Search information for the second programme “B” which is recorded over is
deleted.
• You cannot use this function unless the clock is set.
• Depending on the tape, the total or remaining time may not appear correctly.
• When recording a short programme (less than 10 minutes in SP mode, or 20 minutes
in LP mode), the Smart Search function may not be available or the programme
information may not appear.  Also, if you record a long programme directly after a
short programme, the Smart Search information for the short programme may be
deleted.
• Blank space is measured from the end of the last recorded programme to the end of
the tape.  However, if you eject the tape then make a new recording on the same
tape, the original recorded programme(s) is displayed as a blank space.
• If no information is stored in the VCR’s memory, LATEST DATA does not appear in
the SMART SEARCH screen.

Adjusting the picture
Adjusting the tracking
Although the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking when playing a tape
(the 
 indicator flashes in the display window, then goes off), distortion
may occur if the tape was recorded in poor condition.  In this case, manually
adjust the tracking.
During playback, press TRACKING +/– to
display the tracking meter.  The distortion
should disappear as you press one of the two
buttons (the 
 indicator lights up).  To resume
automatic tracking adjustments, eject the tape
and re-insert it.
About the Reality Regenerator (RR) function
The Reality Regenerator (RR) function automatically restores the picture to
its original quality during playback.
To use the RR function, press
REALITY REGENERATOR. The
REALITY REGENERATOR button
lights up.  You can set RR to
NORMAL or HIGH in the
OPTIONS-2 menu (see page 67).
To turn it off, press REALITY REGENERATOR.  The REALITY
REGENERATOR button goes off.

About the Optimum Picture Control (OPC) function
The Optimum Picture Control (OPC) 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 OPC
to ON in the OPTIONS-1 menu (with the OPC
indicator in the display window lit).  For details,
see page 66.
OPC playback
The OPC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental
tapes and tapes that were not recorded with OPC.
OPC recording
Whenever you insert a tape and start recording for the first time, the VCR
adjusts to the tape using the OPC function (the OPC indicator flashes
rapidly).  This adjustment is retained until the tape is ejected.
To deactivate the OPC function
Set OPC to OFF in the OPTIONS-1 menu.  The OPC indicator in the display
window goes off.
Tip
• To set tracking to the centre position, press the TRACKING + and – buttons at the
same time.
Notes
• You can adjust the tracking for the NTSC-recorded tape but the tracking meter
won’t be displayed.
• With the Auto Long Play function on, the OPC function will work only in SP mode.
If the tape speed automatically switches from SP to LP, the OPC function turns off.
If, however, the entire programme is recorded in LP mode, the OPC function will
work.
• There is a delay of about ten seconds before the VCR actually starts recording while
the VCR analyses the tape.  To avoid the delay, first set the VCR to recording pause
(the OPC indicator flashes slowly) and press r REC to have the VCR analyse the
tape (the OPC indicator flashes rapidly).  After the OPC indicator stops flashing,
press P PAUSE to start recording immediately.  If you want to start recording
quickly without using the OPC function, first set the VCR to recording pause (the
OPC indicator flashes slowly) and press P PAUSE to start recording.
