䡵 DIGITAL TBC/NR — ON/OFF
Your VCR is equipped with a 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 — DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise and enables
clear picture reproduction is also linked to this function. It is
recommended to use the Digital TBC feature when playing back a
tape recorded on a camcorder, playing back a tape repeatedly
used and using this video recorder 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 PC or some
character generators), the playback picture may be distorted. If
this the case, set DIGITAL TBC/NR to OFF.
䡵 VIDEO CALIBRATION — ON/OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, this VCR checks the condition
of the tape in use during playback and recording, and
compensates to provide the highest-possible pictures. This takes
place whenever you play back a tape or start recording after
inserting a tape.
NOTES:
● During playback, this function is always working even though
“VIDEO CALIBRATION” appears just at the beginning of
automatic tracking.
● During recording, this function works only for the first EP
recording and the first SP recording on an inserted tape.
● When you play back rental tapes or tapes recorded on other
VCRs, set this function either “ON” or “OFF” whichever gives
you the best picture.
䡵 PICTURE CONTROL — AUTO(NORM)/EDIT/SOFT/SHARP
This function helps you to adjust the playback picture quality
according to your preference.

automatically. When “VIDEO CALIBRATION” is “OFF”, “NORM”
will appear instead of “AUTO”.
EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing (recording and
playback).
SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes
containing much noise.
SHARP: Clearer, sharper-edged picture when viewing images with
much flat, same-colored surfaces such as cartoons.
NOTES:
● When you select “EDIT”, “SOFT” or “SHARP”, the selected
mode will not change until you select again.

For Example, Recording a program of 140 minutes in length onto
a 120-minute tape
Approximately 110 minutes Approximately 30 minutes
SP mode EP mode
Make sure you set this function to “ON” before the timerrecording starts.
NOTES:
● If you have programed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more
programs, the second program and those thereafter may not fit
on the tape with this function set to “ON”. In this case, do not
use this function, but change the tape speed manually during
timer programing.

Various connection for editing tapes
The following three methods can be used for editing tapes.
● VHS to S-VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):
Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the
original VHS quality, the edited tape has better picture quality
than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
● S-VHS to VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):
Since the original source is recorded in S-VHS mode, the
edited tape has better picture quality than those made by
VHS-to-VHS editing.
● S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection):
Original picture quality of S-VHS made can be duplicated
with minimal picture degradation. This is the best editing
method you can use on S-VHS VCRs.
