Other Useful functions for playback
You can also use the following functions for playback.
● Video Calibration (੬ pg. 57)
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.
● Picture Control (੬ pg. 57)
This function helps you to adjust the playback picture
quality according to your preference.
● Digital R3 (੬ pg. 58)
This function applies edge correction to the luminance
signal to enhance details and provides clear pictures.
● Video Stabilizer (੬ pg. 58)
You can automatically correct vertical vibrations in the
picture when playing back unstable recordings made on
another VCR.

Skipping unwanted portions
— Skip Search
You can skip over (view at high speed) unwanted
portions of the tape.
Press SKIP SEARCH on the Remote once to 4 times
during playback.
Each press initiates a 30-second period of high speed
playback (up to 2 minutes). When the specified portion
of the tape is skipped, normal playback resumes
automatically.
To return to normal playback during Skip Search, press
PLAY ( 3 ).
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 R3 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. 58) 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.
Clean the video heads using a dry
cleaning cassette — TCL-2UX —
when:
• Rough, poor picture appears while a tape is played
back.
• The picture is unclear or no picture appears.
• “USE CLEANING CASSETTE” appears on the screen
(only with “SUPERIMPOSE” set to “ON”: ੬ pg. 56,
57.)
