On the default setting, the recorder automatically detects whether the video signal from the built-in tuner or from one of the external inputs is PAL, SECAM, 3.58 NTSC or PAL–60. You may, however, occasionally need to set it manually if the picture is not displayed properly.

1Select ‘Input Colour System’, then ‘Next Screen’.

2Use the CHANNEL +/– buttons, number buttons, the front panel SMART JOG or the INPUT SELECT button to switch between the built-in tuner and the external inputs.

3 Use the (cursor left/right) buttons to change the input colour system for the current input or built-in tuner.

AV1 Out

• Default setting: Video

You only need to make this setting if you connected this recorder to your TV using the AV1(RGB)-TV SCART AV connector.

Important

•If you make a setting here that is incompatible with your TV, the TV may not display any picture at all. If this happens either switch everything off and reconnect to the TV using either the supplied video cable, or an S-video cable (see Using the S-video output on page 15 for more on this), or reset the recorder (see Resetting the recorder on page 90 for how to do this).

•Video – Compatible with all TVs, but lowest quality of the three AV settings.

•S-Video– Almost the same quality as RGB, but can give better results if you are using a long SCART cable.

•RGB – If your TV is compatible, this setting gives the best picture quality.

AV2/L1 In

• Default setting: Video

You only need to make this setting if you connected this recorder to another component using the AV2/(INPUT 1/ DECODER) AV connector.
