72 EN SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)

VHS MODE SET (cont.)

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

8 COLOUR SYSTEM	You can play back PAL, NTSC and MESECAM tapes, or record PAL and SECAM*
PAL/NTSC	signals on this recorder. Select the appropriate colour system.
MESECAM	* SECAM signals will be recorded as MESECAM on this recorder; MESECAM is the
	designation for tapes with SECAM signals that have been recorded on a MESECAM-
	compatible PAL video cassette recorder.
	PAL/NTSC:	To record PAL signals, or play back a PAL or NTSC tape.
	MESECAM:	To record SECAM signals, or play back a MESECAM tape.

	NOTES:
	● It is not possible to record in S-VHS if “MESECAM” is selected. The recording mode is
	forced to change to VHS.
	About NTSC Playback
	● Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of the TV
	screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of either the video recorder or the TV.
	● The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using the V-HOLD control found
	on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)
	● The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.
	● During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there
	may be a loss of colour.
	● Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of superimposed displays may
	be cut off during NTSC playback.
8 DIGITAL TBC/NR	Your recorder 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 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise and enables clear
	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 video recorder 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”.
	● When playing back a MESECAM tape, Digital TBC/NR does not function even though
	“DIGITAL TBC/NR” is set to “ON”.
8 VIDEO STABILIZER	When this function is set to “ON”, you can automatically correct vertical vibration
ON	in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on another recorder.
OFF	NOTES:
	● When you finish viewing a tape, be sure to set this function to “OFF”.
	● Regardless of the setting, this function has no effect during recording and during special effects
	playback.
	● The on-screen display may jitter vertically when this function is set to “ON”.
	● To watch recordings with close-caption, set this function to “OFF”.
	● Video Stabilizer and Digital TBC/NR cannot be used at the same time. If you activate Digital
	TBC/NR when “VIDEO STABILIZER” is set to “ON”, Video Stabilizer will be automatically
	turned “OFF”.
