Digital TBC/NR (VHS deck only)

Your VCR 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 the Digital TBC feature when...

... playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder.

... playing back a tape repeatedly used.

... using this VCR 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 a PC or some character generators), the playback picture may be distorted. If this is the case, turn off Digital TBC/NR.

Digital TBC/NR and Video Stabilizer (pg. 30) cannot be used at the same time; if you turn on Digital TBC/NR when "VIDEO STABILIZER" is set to "ON", Video Stabilizer will be automatically turned "OFF". Make sure Digital TBC/NR is off when you want to use Video Stabilizer.
