SUBSIDIARY SETTINGS (cont.)
VHS MODE SET (cont.)
* The default setting is bold in the table below.
8
COLOUR SYSTEM
PAL/NTSC
MESECAM
You can play back PAL, NTSC and MESECAM tapes, or record PAL and SECAM*
signals on this recorder. Select the appropriate colour system.
* SECAM signals will be recorded as MESECAM on this recorder; MESECAM is the
designation for tapes with SECAM signals that have been recorded on a MESECAM-
compatible PAL video cassette recorder.
PAL/NTSC : To record PAL signals, or play back a PAL or NTSC tape.
MESECAM : To record SECAM signals, or play back a MESECAM tape.
NOTES:
● It is not possible to record in S-VHS if “MESECAM” is selected. The recording mode is
forced to change to VHS.
About NTSC Playback
● Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of the TV
screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of either the video recorder or the TV.
● The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using the V-HOLD control found
on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)
● The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.
● During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there
may be a loss of colour.
● Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of superimposed displays may be
cut off during NTSC playback.

DIGITAL TBC/NR
ON
OFF
Your recorder 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.
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
ON
OFF
When this function is set to “ON”, you can automatically correct vertical vibration
in the picture when playing back unstable recordings made on another recorder.
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”.
