8 DIGITAL TBC/NR |
| Your VCR is equipped with the Digital TBC (Time Base Corrector) that removes | ||
ON |
| jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with old tapes | ||
OFF |
| and rental cassettes. |
|
|
|
| The on/off of Digital | ||
|
| picture reproduction is also linked to this function. | ||
|
| We recommend that you set “DIGITAL TBC/NR” to “ON” when ... | ||
|
| ... playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder. | ||
|
| ... playing back a tape repeatedly used. | ||
|
| ... using this VCR as the source player for editing. | ||
|
| NOTES: |
|
|
|
| ● If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, the picture may | ||
|
| become more stable with Digital TBC/NR set to off. | ||
|
| ● When “DIGITAL TBC/NR” is set to “ON”, if you play back a tape where certain types of | ||
|
| signals are recorded (using a PC or some character generators), the playback picture may | ||
|
| be distorted. If this is the case, set “DIGITAL TBC/NR” to “OFF”. | ||
