SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)

VHS MODE SET (cont.)

* The default setting is bold in the table below.

8 DIGITAL TBC/NR

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

ON

jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with old tapes

OFF

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”.

 

 

8 VIDEO STABILIZER

When this function is set to “ON”, you can automatically correct vertical vibration

ON

in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on another recorder.

OFF

NOTES:

 

 

● When you finish viewing a tape, be sure to set this function to “OFF”.

 

● Regardless of the setting, this function has no effect during recording and during special effects

 

playback.

 

● The on-screen display may jitter vertically when this function is set to “ON”.

 

● To watch recordings with close-caption, set this function to “OFF”.

 

● Video Stabilizer and Digital TBC/NR cannot be used at the same time. If you activate Digital

 

TBC/NR when “VIDEO STABILIZER” is set to “ON”, Video Stabilizer will be automatically

 

turned “OFF”.
