SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transis­tors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK OR DOTTED LINE WITH MARK ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS
AND IN THE PARTS LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION. REPLACE THESE COMPONENTS WITH SONY PARTS WHOSE PART NUMBERS APPEAR AS SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS PUBLISHED BY SONY.
4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recom­mend their replacement.
5. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.

Notes
If the TV uses a different remote control system from the one programmed to work with the VCR, you cannot control your TV with the remote commander.
You may not be able to use some buttons to control non-Sony TVs due to the remote commanders signal limitations.
If you enter a new code number, the code number previously entered will be erased.
When you replace the batteries of the remote commander, the code number may
automatically reset to 01 (Sony). If your TV is not a Sony, it is recommended to manually set the appropriate code number every time you replace the batteries.

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 turns off), distortion may occur if the tape was recorded in poor condition. In this case, manually adjust the tracking.
Press the TRACKING +/– buttons on the VCR 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 adjustment, eject the tape and reinsert it.

About the Adaptive Picture Control (APC) function
The Adaptive Picture Control (APC) 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 APC to ON in the SET UP MENU ( in the display window lit).
APC playback
The APC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental tapes and tapes that were not recorded with APC.
APC recording
Whenever you insert a tape and start recording at the first time, the VCR adjusts to the tape using the APC function (the APC indicator flashes rapidly). This adjustment is retained until the tape is ejected.
To deactivate the APC function
Press MENU and select SET UP MENU ( APC indicator in the display window goes off.
Tip
To set the tracking to the center position, press TRACKING + and – buttons at the same time.
Notes
The auto tracking adjustment cannot be guaranteed to work with tapes recorded in the LP mode on other VCRs.
There is a delay of a few seconds before the VCR actually starts recording while the VCR analyzes the tape. To avoid the delay, first set the VCR to recording pause (the APC indicator flashes slowly) and press z REC to have the VCR analyze the tape. After the APC indicator stops flashing, press X PAUSE to start recording immediately. If you press X PAUSE APC function is canceled.
