Ntsc Playback

Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back with this VCR via a PAL system TV.

–Select [NTSC PB SELECT] from the on screen display according to the colour TV system of the TV.

(See page 13.)

–NTSC 3.58 recording requires [NTSC INPUT SELECT] to be in the AUTO or 3.58 position (see page 13), however if [NTSC INPUT SELECT] is in this position when recording a NTSC 3.58 signal, no colour is available for the PAL TV. Once the recording is completed, you then need to select [on PAL TV] to view the recording in colour on PAL TV.

–On some TVs, the playback picture may roll up or down; if your TV has V-HOLD control or equivalent adjustment function, use it to adjust the picture.
