Your VCR 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

enables clear picture reproduction is
also linked to this function.
*The default setting is “ON”.
We recommend that you use the Digital
TBC feature when...
... playing a tape recorded on a
camcorder.
... playing a tape repeatedly.
... using this VCR as the player for tape
duplication.
