TBC (Time Base Corrector) Function
Playback of certain cassettes can cause slight horizontal
shaking of the picture or other distortion. To minimise such
distortion and ensure a stable playback picture, this Movie
Camera is equipped with the TBC Function. This function is
automatically activated within a few seconds after playback
has started, and the [TBC] Indication appears.
Cancelling the TBC Function
With certain cassettes, however, the TBC Function could
cause slight vertical shaking or other distortion in the playback
picture.
In this case, first try to adjust the tracking (-> 41). If this does
not improve the picture, cancel the TBC Function by keeping
the [TBC] Button pressed until the [TBC] Indication
disappears.
lf you want to turn the TBC Function on again, press the [TBC]
Button for a few seconds until the [TBC] Indication reappears.
Even if you cancel the TBC Function, it is automatically turned
back on when you switch the Movie Camera from the Camera
Mode to the VCR Mode.
