In essence, it contained almost all of the signal system from the AVR-2, so it was far more than a typical TBC. When used with the VR-3000, RF from each channel was routed to the unit, bypassing the 3000's internal EQ, switching, demod etc. All of those functions were performed in the TBC-900 ahead of the actual TBC function.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I wonder:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Really? It bypassed the EQ and demod of the machine? That’s surprising, especially since I’m pretty sure the VR-3000 is equipped with switching, EQ, and demod, so why bypass them? All the VR-3000 needs is a direct baseband TBC designed for switched video. I’d also like to know how many functions the TBC is doing.</div></div><br><div>
