4 MENU SWITCH SETTING 4 MENU SWITCH SETTING Besides the physical switches on the unit, a selection of MENU switches are provided. These can be displayed on the counter display or a connected monitor. Data set in the MENU switches are stored in the VCR’s built-in nonvolatile memory and are not erased even when the main power is turned off. Also available on the top menu display are the following convenient functions for menu switch setting.
4 MENU SWITCH SETTING 4 MENU SWITCH SETTING 4-2 VIDEO SIGNAL SYSTEM SELECTION 4-3 MENU SWITCH SETTING This unit can be used with either the NTSC or PAL signal systems. The currently selected video signal system is indicated by the 525/625 indicator on the counter display. To change the video signal system, follow the steps below.
4 MENU SWITCH SETTING 4 MENU SWITCH SETTING 4-4 SAVING AND CALLING UP MENU SWITCH SETTINGS 4-5 CALLING UP FUNCTIONAL MENU SWITCH (Direct Access Function) The set menu switch data can be saved and called up with the 00A MENU SETTING item on the top menu display. If you’re going to use the current menu switch setting again later, you can store it in the user memory area. Then, if the setting is changed, you can restore it simply by calling the stored user data.
4 MENU SWITCH SETTING 4 MENU SWITCH SETTING 4-6 USER PAGE REGISTRATION/CHANGE/DELETE (User page function) 4-6 USER PAGE REGISTRATION/CHANGE/DELETE (User page function) (con't) Up to five menu switch settings can be registered on the user page (User Page function). The User Page function allows you to register frequently used menu switches for quicker access when you want to change the settings.

This function is not the same as operation lock.
4 MENU SWITCH SETTING 4 MENU SWITCH SETTING 4-8 RECORDING CURRENT ADJUSTMENT 4-9 HOUR METER DATA DISPLAY Thanks to this function, it is not necessary to adjust the recording current each time the tape is changed. When a tape with a different optimum recording current is used, this function allows you to take advantage of this tape’s performance. If automatic adjustment is performed on a tape which has been used many times, its optimum recording current may be quite different from that of a new tape.
