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.  
To deactivate the APC  
Press MENU and select SET UP MENU, then set APC to OFF. The APC  
indicator in the display window goes off.  
Note  
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 (the  
APC indicator flashes slowly) and press rREC to have the VCR analyse the tape  
(the APC indicator flashes rapidly). After the APC indicator stops flashing, press  
PPAUSE 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 PPAUSE to start recording.
