STC Adjustment 

 
In the short distance menu, even if waves are 
low and the sea surface is calm, an echo 
reflected from the sea surface appears in the 
image.  
When waves become high, the sea surface 
reflected echo covers around the center of the 
image and make it harder to see targets. 
Adjust the STC to suppress the reflection from 
the sea surface so that the image becomes 
visible easily. 

 

STC Adjustment 

When rotating clockwise the [STC] knob, the 
reflection suppressing effect becomes 
stronger. 

    When not influenced by waves, rotate fully 

counterclockwise the [STC] knob. 

    This function reduces the gain at short 

distance. If rotating clockwise the [STC] knob 
too much, desired targets disappear.
