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.
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".
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".
