WARNING
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do
not expose the unit to rain or
moisture.
This symbol is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock
to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION
To prevent electric shock, do not use this
polarized AC plug with an extension cord,
receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can
be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
Precautions
Safety
• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the
unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• This unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you
do not intend to use it for an extended
period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull
it out by the plug, never by the cord.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the
other for the purpose of safety and will fit
into the power outlet only one way. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, contact your Sony dealer.
Installing
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent
internal heat buildup.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies) that may block the ventilation
slots.
Introduction
• Do not install the unit near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,
mechanical vibration or shock.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.
• Keep the unit and cassettes away from
equipment with strong magnets, such as
microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to
a warm location, moisture may condense
inside the VCR and cause damage to the
video head and tape. When you first install
the unit, or when you move it from a cold to
a warm location, wait for about three hours
before operating the unit.

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 goes off), distortion
may occur if the tape was recorded in poor condition. In this case, manually
adjust the tracking.
Press the TRACKING +/– buttons 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 ADVANCED OPTIONS menu (with the APC
indicator in the display window lit). For details, see page 35.
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 first start recording, the VCR adjusts to the
tape using the APC function (the APC indicator flashes rapidly). This
adjustment is retained until the tape is ejected.
Notes
• The automatic tracking adjustment cannot be guaranteed to work with tapes
recorded in the LP mode on other VCRs.
• The APC function does not work if the tape speed is automatically changed from
the SP to EP mode during a timer recording when AUTO TAPE SPEED is set to ON
in the ADVANCED OPTIONS menu, unless the tape has been recorded in the EP
mode with the APC function.
• There is a delay of about ten 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 (the APC indicator flashes rapidly). After the APC indicator stops flashing,
press X PAUSE to start recording immediately.
If you want to start recording quickly without using the APC function, first set the
VCR to recording pause (the APC indicator flashes slowly) and press X PAUSE to
start recording.

registration was interrupted remains in the SmartFile label.
• When you set AUTO TAPE SPEED to ON in the ADVANCED OPTIONS menu, and
the tape speed automatically changes from SP to EP during recording, the VCR
displays the entire recording time converted in SP mode to the SmartFile list.
