J Adjusting picture condition
— Digital TBC/NR
The Digital TBC/NR (Time Base Corrector / Noise Reduction) function removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with old tapes and rental tapes. The Digital R3 function which cuts noise and reproduces clear pictures is also linked to this function.
We recommend that you use the Digital TBC/NR function when...
—playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder.
—playing back a tape repeatedly used.
—using this VCR as the player for editing.
Press DIGITAL TBC/NR on the front panel so that the DIGITAL TBC/NR lamp lights up.
Each time you press the button, this function turns on and off.
NOTES:
If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, the picture may happen to become more stable with Digital TBC/NR activated.
If you play back a tape on which certain types of signals (using a PC or some character generators) have been recorded with Digital TBC/NR activated, the playback picture may be distorted. In this case, deactivate Digital TBC/NR.
Digital TBC/NR and Video Stabilizer ( pg. 58) cannot be used at the same time; if you turn on Digital TBC/NR when “VIDEO STABILIZER” is set to “ON”, Video Stabilizer will be automatically turned “OFF”. Make sure Digital TBC/NR is deactivated when you want to use Video Stabilizer.
