DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
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.
Set the DNR switch as follows: O
ON: Usually set to “ON”.
The “DNR” indicator will appear in the VCR
display and you can view the picture with less
noise.
OFF: This function will not work.
Notes
