BASIC PLAYBACK AND RECORDING (cont.)
Locating beginning of timer
recordings — Instant Review
At the press of a button, you can turn on the VCR,
rewind the tape and begin to view the most recent timer-
recorded program.
After ensuring that the VCR is turned off and that the
timer mode is disengaged, press REVIEW.
● The VCR turns on, and rewinds to the index code
indicating the beginning of the last timer-recorded
program, then begins playback automatically.
● You can access a program of 2 to 9 index codes away
from the current position on the tape. If, for example,
you have 5 programs recorded and you want to watch
the third one, press REVIEW three times.
● If you want to find the very beginning of the desired program,
press REW ( 1 ) or FF ( ¡ ) after playback starts.
● If the tape is already rewound when REVIEW is
pressed, it will play the tape from the beginning. It will
not fast-forward to an index code.
● The Instant Review function will also operate if the
VCR is turned on.
Adjusting picture condition
— Digital TBC/NR
The Digital TBC/NR (Time Base Corrector / Noise
Reduction) function removes jitter from fluctuating video
signals to deliver a stable picture even with old tapes
and rental tapes. The Digital 3-DNR (Noise Reduction)
function which cuts noise and reproduces clear pictures
is also linked to this function.
We recommend that you use the Digital TBC/NR
function when...
— playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder.
— playing back a tape repeatedly used.
— using this VCR as the player for editing.
Press DIGITAL TBC/NR on the front panel so that the
DIGITAL TBC/NR lamp lights up.
Each time you press the button, this function turns on
and off.
NOTES:
●
If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception
condition, the picture may happen to become more stable
with Digital TBC/NR activated.
●
If you play back a tape on which certain types of signals
(using a PC or some character generators) have been recorded
with Digital TBC/NR activated, the playback picture may be
distorted. In this case, deactivate Digital TBC/NR.
●
Digital TBC/NR and Video Stabilizer (
੬
pg. 41) 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
deactivated when you want to use Video Stabilizer.
