8 DIGITAL TBC/NR

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

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”.

though “DIGITAL TBC/NR” is set to “ON”.
