Notes
•
You can eject a tape even when the power is off. When you press Z EJECT, the VCR
turns on automatically. After ejecting the tape, the VCR turns off again.

You can play back tapes recorded in the SP mode only.
The counter resets to “0:00:00” whenever a tape is inserted.
The counter stops counting when it comes to a portion with no recording.
If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL and NTSC systems, the time counter
reading will not be correct. This is due to the difference between the counting cycles
of the two colour systems.
•
Depending on your TV, the following may occur while playing an NTSC-recorded
tape:
– the picture is black and white,
– the picture shakes,
– no picture appears on the TV screen,
– black streaks appear horizontally on the TV screen, and
– the colour density increases or decreases.

You can only use this function if your TV is made by Sony (Trinitron TV).
How to connect to use this function
Connect the VCR and TV with the audio/ video cable (see “To a TV that has
audio/ video input jacks” on page 7.) Be sure to connect the audio/ video
cable to the VIDEO IN 1 jacks on the TV if the TV has two inputs or more.
The TV must be placed where it will respond to the remote commander
while you are pointing it at the VCR.
Operation
Make sure that the TV’s power is in standby mode.
Press TRINITRON TV SYNCHRO PLAY and hold the remote commander in
place for about two seconds.
The VCR and TV turn on, and the TV is set to the video channel. If there is a

Notes
•
If the Trinitron TV Synchro Play function does not work properly:
- Wait a few moments, and press the button again.
- Replace both of the batteries in the remote commander with new ones, and press
the button again.
Note that this function may not operate some Sony TVs because of the remote
commander’s signal limitations.
•
Do not press TRINITRON TV SYNCHRO PLAY while playing back a video tape. If
you do so, the TV’s input source will momentarily switch to the TV’s tuner.

Ab o u t Ad a p t ive Pict u re Co n t ro l (APC)
Adaptive Picture Control (APC) automatically improves recording and
playback quality by adjusting the VCR to the condition of the video heads
and tape.
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. This adjustment is retained until the tape is
ejected.
Tip
•
Adjust the picture using V/ v NORMAL/ SLOW/ STILL ADJUST if:
– streaks appear while playing in slow motion
– the picture shakes while pausing
Notes
•
The auto tracking function works automatically when you play back a tape just
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.
•
•
•
While playing a MESECAM recorded tape, you cannot adjust the colour using the
RESOLUTION CONTROL II function.
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.
