To record NTSC colour system programmes

NTSC colour signals can be recorded on this VCR.

For tape speed, select SP or EP in step 4.

EP provides recording time three times as long as SP, however, SP produces better picture quality.

When playing back, the VCR automatically detects the tape speed.

Tips

•To select a programme position, you can use the programme number buttons on the remote commander. For two-digit numbers, press the ? (ten’s digit) button followed by the programme number buttons.

•You can select a video source from the LINE-1 IN or the LINE-2 IN jacks using INPUT SELECT on the VCR.

•The display appears on the TV screen indicating information about the tape, but the information won’t be recorded on the tape.

•If you don’t want to watch TV while recording, you can turn off the TV.

Notes

•The display does not appear during still (pause) mode or slow-motion playback.

•The display will not appear while playing an NTSC-recorded tape.
