8 DIGITAL TBC/NR

Your recorder is equipped with the Digital TBC (Time Base Corrector) that

ON

removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even

OFF

with old tapes 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”.
