Timer Recording, the cassette is automatically ejected and the unit is 
shut off.
● During Instant Timer Recording, any other timer programed recording 
won’t start even if their start time has come. In such a case, the timer 
programed recording starts (if the end time of the timer programed

Second Audio Recording
This unit’s built-in MTS decoder enables reception of Multichannel 
TV Sound broadcast. To record a SAP program received, set “2ND 
AUDIO RECORD” to “ON”. (
NOTE:
When the channel is changed on the unit;
● The “ST” appears on the front display panel for about 5 seconds if the 
program is a stereo broadcast.
● The “SAP” appears on the front display panel for about 5 seconds if 
the program is a SAP broadcast.

Active Video Calibration
The Video Calibration checks the condition of the tape in use 
during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the 
highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You can set 
“VIDEO CALIBRATION” to “ON” or “OFF” to your preference. 
(
Playback
The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate 
playback.
● The unit adjusts the playback picture quality based on the quality of 
the tape in use.
● The Video Calibration is active during automatic tracking.
Recording
The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate 
recording.
● The unit spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of 
the tape, then begins recording.
ATTENTION:
Since the Video Calibration works before recording actually 
starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after 7 and 
4 on the remote control are pressed, or 7 on the unit is 
pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or program 
in its entirety, first perform the following steps:
A Press and hold 9 and press 7 to engage the Record Pause 
mode.
● The unit then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, 
after approximately 7 seconds, re-enters Record Pause mode.
B Press 4 to start recording.
If you want to bypass the Video Calibration and begin recording 
immediately, set “VIDEO CALIBRATION” to “OFF”. (
