Digital TBC/NR

Your recorder is equipped with the 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 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise and enables clear picture reproduction is also linked to this function.

* The default setting is on.

We recommend that you use Digital TBC/NR 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.

Activate Digital TBC/NR.

Press DIGITAL TBC/NR so that the button lights up.

To turn off Digital TBC/NR, press DIGITAL TBC/NR again so that the light goes off.

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, turn off Digital TBC/NR.

When playing back a MESECAM tape, Digital TBC/NR does not function even though the DIGITAL TBC/NR button is lit.
