monochrome pictures if played back on a video recorder of
SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour
pictures if played back on aPAL video recorder with
SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAM-
compatible).
3. SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a
SECAM-L video recorder produce monochrome pictures
when played back with this recorder.

VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery
Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are service designed
to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this system, your
recorder will start and stop recording when the preset TV
programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time of
a preset TV programme is changed.
Automatic Satellite Programme Recording
You can automatically record a satellite programme which is
timer-programmed on your satellite receiver.
NOTE:
When you use ExpressTimer Programming, set the start time (VPS
or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing.

NOTES:
● Before recording, set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” (੬ see below).
● You cannot activate the S-VHS ET function while recording
(੬ 7), timer-recording (੬ 8) or Instant Timer Recording (੬ 7)
or the “B.E.S.T.” function (੬ see below) is in progress.
● The S-VHS ET function does not work with S-VHS cassettes.
● To keep the highest quality recording and playback pictures
over a long period of time, S-VHS recording on S-VHS cassettes
is recommended.
You can listen to the soundtrack through your stereo system.
Connect the AUDIO OUT L and R connectors on the recorder to
the AUX IN or TAPE MONITOR connectors on your stereo
system’s receiver or amplifier.
● When listening to sound through the connected stereo system,
turn the TV’s volume down completely.
● Use of high grade tapes is recommended for S-VHS ET
recordings. On some tapes, picture quality will not improve
even if the S-VHS ET function is used. Check the recording
quality before you start important recordings.
Ⅵ B.E.S.T. — ON / OFF
When B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised SignalTracking) system is
set to “ON”, the recorder checks the condition of the tape in use
during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the
highest-possible pictures. When B.E.S.T. works, “bESt” appears
blinking on the display panel. B.E.S.T. takes place whenever you
play back a tape or start recording after inserting a cassette.
NOTE:
The recorder checks the tape condition for about 7 seconds, then
starts recording. To make sure you record the desired scene or
programme completely, perform the following steps:
A Press and hold 9, and press 7. After about 7 seconds, the
recorder re-enters Record Pause mode.
B Press 4 to start recording.

according to your preference.
Ⅵ POWER SAVE — ON / OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, you can reduce the power
consumption while the recorder is turned off.
AUTO(NORM): Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted
automatically. When “B.E.S.T.” is “OFF”, “NORM” will appear
instead of “AUTO”.
EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and
playback).
SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes
containing much noise.
NOTES:
● During Power Save mode,
• the display panel is turned off,
• the Just Clock does not work,
• and the picture may be distorted momentarily when you turn
on/off the recorder.
● Power Save does not work in the following cases:
• When “L-2 SELECT” is set to “DECODER” or “SAT”,
• or when the recorder is in the timer recording standby mode,
• or in the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode,
• or when the recorder’s power is turned off after timer-
recording or ITR (Instant Timer Recording).
NOTE:
Select “EDIT” when you are editing tapes. After you finish editing,

● 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 “ON”, various recorder status
information (on-screen display) appears on the screen.
NOTE:
● When this function is set to “OFF”, you can record on S-VHS
tapes with VHS picture quality.
When you use the recorder as the source player for editing a tape,
be sure to set this function to “OFF”. Otherwise, the recorder
status information will be recorded on the edited tape.
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 recorder without
SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS mode.)
● S-VHS 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 (੬ 11).
Ⅵ AUTO SP]LP TIMER — ON / OFF

● There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the tape
speed switches from SP to LP mode on the tape.
● This function is not available during ITR (Instant Timer
Recording), and 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 this function and VPS/
PDC activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally
scheduled length, sometimes the programme cannot be
recorded in its entirety.
MESECAM: To record SECAM signals, or play back a MESECAM
tape.
NOTES:
About NTSC Playback
● Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at
the top and bottom of the screen, or cut off the top and bottom
portions of superimposed displays. This is not a malfunction.
● The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected if your
TV has the V-HOLD control function.
● The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.
● During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will
be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.
