Dedicated TBC

[mountaincabbage]

Hey guys,

I have recently obtained a DataVideo MP6000, which I am planning to use as a TBC for converting old VHS tapes.
I currently use a JVC HR-S7860 to play my old vhs tapes, so when I integrate the TBC into my setup, should I turn OFF the TBC and other video correction settings that are on at the moment on the JVC?

I admit I'm relatively new to VHS restoration, I purchased the Datavideo at a very low price. From research I know they are professional level pieces of equipment. Could anyone provide any information exactly on how good it actually is? (I dont really have a gauge :S)
