Memo

•In the playback mode, the signal system of the tape is automatically identified, regardless of the NTSC/PAL switch setting.

•During DV signal input, the signal system of the input signal is automatically identified, regardless of the NTSC/PAL switch setting.

•This unit is equipped with a function to automatically detect the signal system of the cassette being played back or the signal being received at the DV input connector. However, this function may not operate correctly in some instances.

To ensure the correct system selection, it is recommended that you match the rear panel’s NTSC/ PAL switch to the signal system of the input signal or playback tape.

•When the unit enters the STOP mode, the NTSC/PAL switch setting will be engaged.

•If a tape recorded in both NTSC & PAL signal systems is played, the video, audio or time code may be distorted at the position where the signal system is switched.

•When the signal system of the tape and the NTSC/PAL setting differ, video and sound output will be upset for about 5 seconds after playback starts or stops.

•NTSC/PAL signal system conversion is not possible.
