The OPC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental  
tapes. You can play a tape using the OPC function even if the tape was not  
recorded with it.

• The auto tracking function works automatically when you play back a tape just  
after inserting it.  
• 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 unit.
