MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under
extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form in the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture
condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the
recorder turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.
NOTE:
The fan on the rear panel may run although the recorder is turned off in the following cases, for example:
— in timer standby mode, several hours before the VPS/PDC recording starts.
— if you connect a decoder or satellite receiver to the AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector and “L-2 SELECT” is set to
“DECODER” or “SAT”.
— if “JUST CLOCK” is set to “ON”.

The presence of a blank (unrecorded) portion in the middle of a tape can result in misoperation.
A "blank portion" of a tape is a section where nothing is recorded on the tape. If you start making a recording in a blank portion
of a tape, the time codes will start from "0:00:00" again. If identical time codes are recorded in two different places on a tape,
Random Assemble Editing and other similar functions might not operate properly.
In the following circumstances, you should play the tape and confirm where a scene ends, and then begin recording from there:
● When starting to record in the middle of a tape on which a recording has already been made.
● When you have made a recording on a tape, then played that recording back in order to check it, and now wish to continue
recording.
● When you lost power or the batteries died while you were recording with a camcorder.

NOTES:
●
The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP (or EP) modes
only after a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is
first initiated. It does not work during recording.
●
In the case of timer recording, the B.E.S.T. system works
before recording is initiated.
●
Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled.
The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is reperformed.
●
Pressing the recorder's RECORD button while "BEST" is

● The recorder adjusts the playback picture quality
based on the quality of the tape in use.
● B.E.S.T. is active during Auto Tracking. "BEST"
appears blinking on the recorder’s display panel.
NOTES:
●
When watching a tape recorded with "B.E.S.T." set to "ON", it
is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as
well.
●
When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another
video recorder, or when using this recorder as the player for
editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference by performing steps 1
through 5 on page 32.
●
"BEST" only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking.
Even though it doesn't appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function
is operative.
ATTENTION
Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually
starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after
RECORD and PLAY on the remote are pressed, or RECORD
on the recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the
desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the
following steps:
1) Press and hold PAUSE and press RECORD to engage the
RECORD PAUSE mode.
●
The recorder then automatically checks the condition
of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, reenters RECORD PAUSE.

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, special code signals are transmitted
together with the audio/video signals. These code signals
control your video recorder and have precedence over the
advertised times you may have preset into the timer. This
means that 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.
NOTES:
●
When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start
time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV
listing. A different time than advertised will result in no
recording.
●
VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite
receiver or a cable system is connected to AV2 (L-2) IN/
DECODER on your recorder.
●
VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 (L-1) IN/
OUT connector.

●
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

CAUTIONS:
● This recorder has a dynamic range of more than 80 dB with
regards to its Hi-Fi audio capability. It is recommended that
you check the maximum level if you are going to listen to the
Hi-Fi audio signals through a stereo amplifier. A sudden surge
in the input level to the speakers may damage them.
● Some speakers and televisions are specially shielded to
prevent television interference. If both are of the non-shielded
type, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV set as this
can adversely affect the video playback picture.

programme of a different station. When programming the
timer using the SHOWVIEW system, be sure to check whether
the channel position on which your recorder receives the
broadcasting station you wish to record is selected
( pg. 34, "SHOWVIEW Timer Programming").
● Your video recorder memorizes all detected stations even if
reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture
quality may be poor. To delete those stations with an
unacceptable picture "Delete A Channel" on page 71.
