DIGITAL TBC/NR ON/OFF

Your VCR is equipped with a Digital TBC (Time Base Corrector) that removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with old tapes and rental cassettes. The on/off of Digital — DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise and enables clear picture reproduction is also linked to this function. It is recommended to use the Digital TBC feature when playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder, playing back a tape repeatedly used and using this video recorder as the player for editing.

NOTES:

If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, there may be cases where the picture becomes 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 PC or some character generators), the playback picture may be distorted. If this the case, set DIGITAL TBC/NR to OFF.

VIDEO CALIBRATION ON/OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, this VCR checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible pictures. This takes place whenever you play back a tape or start recording after inserting a tape.

NOTES:

During playback, this function is always working even though “VIDEO CALIBRATION” appears just at the beginning of automatic tracking.

During recording, this function works only for the first EP recording and the first SP recording on an inserted tape.

When you play back rental tapes or tapes recorded on other VCRs, set this function either “ON” or “OFF” whichever gives you the best picture.

PICTURE CONTROL AUTO(NORM)/EDIT/SOFT/SHARP

This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality according to your preference.

AUTO (NORM): Normally select this. Picture quality is adjusted automatically. When “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is “OFF”, “NORM” will appear instead of “AUTO”.

EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and playback).

SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes containing much noise.

SHARP: Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with much flat, same-colored surfaces such as cartoons.

NOTES:

When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected mode will not change until you select again.

Select “EDIT” when you are editing tapes ( pg. 22). After you finish editing the tapes, select “AUTO” (“NORM” when “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is “OFF”.)

AUTO TIMER — ON/OFF

When this function is set to “ON”:

The timer recording standby mode is automatically engaged when the VCR is turned off. It is temporarily canceled when the VCR is turned on. You do not have to press TIMER to engage or disengage the timer recording standby mode.

When this function is set to “OFF”:

You have to press TIMER to engage or disengage the timer recording standby mode.

ON SCREEN (REC) ON/OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, if you press OSD (OK)

( pg. 6) various VCR status information (on-screen display) appears on the screen during recording.

NOTE:

The setting you have made is kept in memory. Even if the VCR is unplugged or the power failure occurs, it will resume every time you turn on the VCR.

ON SCREEN (PLAY) ON/OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, if you press OSD (OK)

( pg. 6) various VCR status information (on-screen display) appears on the screen during playback.

NOTES:

When you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing a tape, be sure to set this function to “OFF”; otherwise, the VCR status information (on-screen display) will be recorded on the edited tape.

If you select a channel on which no signal is received, the channel number is displayed regardless of this function setting.

The setting you have made is kept in memory. Even if the VCR is unplugged or the power failure occurs, it will resume every time you turn on the VCR.

AUTO SP]EP TIMER — ON/OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, the VCR automatically switches to EP mode to allow complete recording if there is not enough tape to record the entire program while timer-recording in SP mode.

For Example, Recording a program of 140 minutes in length onto a 120-minute tape

Approximately 110 minutes

Approximately 30 minutes

SP mode

EP mode

 

 

Make sure you set this function to “ON” before the timer- recording starts.

NOTES:

If you have programed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second program and those thereafter may not fit on the tape with this function set to “ON”. In this case, do not use this function, but change the tape speed manually during timer programing.

In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this function may leave a slight non-recorded portion at the end of the tape.

There may be some noise and sound disturbance where the tape speed switches from SP to EP mode on the tape.

This function will not work properly on the following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and T(ST)-120.

DIGITAL R3 ON/OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, edge correction to the luminance signal is performed to enhance details. Normally set this function to “ON”.

NOTES:

Depending on the type of tape being used, picture quality may be better with “DIGITAL R3” set to “OFF”.

If you use this VCR as the playback VCR for editing, be sure to set “DIGITAL R3” to “OFF” before starting.

VIDEO STABILIZER — ON/OFF

When this function is set to “ON”, you can automatically correct vertical vibrations in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on another VCR.

NOTES:

When you finish viewing a tape, be sure to set this function to “OFF”.

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”.
