Ntsc Tape Play Back on PAL TV

Playback

When you play back an NTSC tape on your Product, it is possible to use a PAL or multi-system compatible TV. However, please note the following:

•The picture will shrink vertically to some degree, as shown in the diagram,

but this does not indicate a malfunction in your TV or Product.

• If your TV does not have a V-HOLD control, the picture may roll and be unwatchable. However, if you use a TV with a V-HOLD control, you can stop the rolling by adjusting the V-HOLD control and watch the picture.

•Horizontal noise bars may appear on the screen during special effect

playback (video search, still, slow, frame advance, and double speed playback), possibly accompanied by discolouring.

•Although NTSC tapes can be played back into a PAL TV, those tapes cannot be dubbed by a PAL system VCR connected to the AUDIO OUT and VIDEO OUT terminals of this product. Tapes recorded in this way cannot be played back on PAL system VCRs.

•Set the Colour mode to AUTO or NTSC, and set the NTSC mode to PAL TV.

Full Auto Playback

(This function only works when AUTO RENTAL mode on the MODE selection screen is set to “OFF”.)

Full Auto Playback lets you enjoy playback with ease. When you insert a cassette with the erasure protection tab removed, your Product automatically turns on the power and plays back the tape. When the tape reaches its end, the Product automatically rewinds the tape, ejects it and turns off the power. If a DVD is being played back, the power will not turn off.

•If the erasure protection hole is covered, press ûPLAY after the power turns on automatically.

Auto Head Cleaning System

When the tape is inserted or ejected, this system automatically cleans the drum and heads with a special roller before recording or playback begins, protecting the heads and drum from dirt and preserving beautiful picture quality.

Auto Tracking Control System

This function automatically adjusts the tracking to match the recorded tape. Auto tracking engages in the following cases:

• When you insert the cassette and begin playback.

• When you press CH ' / " at the same time.

• When the Product has been playing back an unrecorded section of tape,

and then reaches a recorded tape segment.	Poor Tracking	Normal tracking
and then reaches a recorded tape segment.
When auto tracking engages, “” on the TV screen flashes for a few seconds.

•When a poorly recorded tape is played back, auto tracking may not operate normally. In this event, manually adjust the tracking with CH ' / " to make any noise disappear.

Quick Start with Full Loading Mechanism

Your Product has a standby function (Full Loading Mechanism) to allow immediate recording and playback. After pressing ÆREC or ûPLAY, it takes about 2 seconds until recording or playback is engaged when in the standby mode.
