DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
(For W-708 only)
The noise reduction function of this VCR is based
on a digital signal system utilizing memory, and is
effective in the playback of noisy tapes.
Furthermore the CSE (Color Signal
Enhancement) circuit, which is included in the
system, compensates for color signal weakness
and gives the best possible color. Thanks to this
circuit color distortion is reduced and a sharp
picture is played back.
Press
DNR
repeatedly to select the following:
D

R O
n
:
Usually set to “O

with less noise.

R OFF: This function will not work.
Notes
• The DNR playback is available only in the
playback mode.
• Depending on the recorded picture, for example
too vivid or too noisy, you may not notice a
reduction in the noise.
• The noise reduction may not work on pictures
recorded from special equipment such as TV
game machines or computers.
