NOISE CANCEL (in the Still mode)

This feature allows you to reposition or reduce the noise lines of a still picture.Press the PAUSE/STILL button so that the noise lines change position on the screen so you can see the picture in its entirety with- out distracting noise lines.

NOTE: This feature can be activated ONLY when viewing a tape recorded in the SLP mode. If the tape was originally recorded in the SP or LP mode, the still picture may revert to black and white in addition to the “noise bars”. This is normal.

VERTICAL HOLD CONTROL

In the Pause/Still mode only, when the picture begins to vibrate vertically, stabilize the picture by pressing the CHANNEL K or L button.

NOTE:

If there are video noise lines on the screen, reposition or reduce them. Refer to “NOISE CANCEL”.
