APC playback
The APC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental
tapes and tapes that were not recorded with APC.

after inserting it.
•
There is a delay of a few seconds before the VCR actually starts recording while the
VCR analyses the tape. To avoid the delay, first set the VCR to recording pause and
press z REC to have the VCR analyse the tape. After ten seconds, press X PAUSE
to start recording immediately. If you press X PAUSE before ten seconds, the APC
function is cancelled.

Sufficient picture quality may not be obtained when playing back tapes recorded on
another VCR or tapes in poor condition.
When a tape recorded with the copyguard system is played back, intermittent
distortion may appear in the upper portion of the picture. However, this is not a
malfunction of the VCR.
