Adjusting the playback picture, Ntsc Playback

Note for only NTSC Playback on PAL system TV

This function is designed to allow only the playback of tapes recorded by NTSC signals on a PAL system TV. The NTSC signal is not completely converted to a PAL signal. For this reason, images play back by this function cannot be recorded correctly on other VHS.

≥You can eject tapes when the unit is in standby mode. It switches back to standby once it ejects the tape.

≥When the tape reaches its end, this unit automatically rewinds it to the beginning. During timer recording, OTR and fast-forwarding, this function does not work.

Notes:

≥Jet Search, cue, review or slow playback will be automatically released after 10 minutes, and for still playback, it will be released after 5 minutes.

≥The tape counter does not appear during Jet Rewind.

≥Depending on a cassette or the operating condition, Jet Rewind may not work or change the rewind speed somewhat.

≥During playback function other than normal playback, horizontal noise bars may appear in the picture, the colour of the picture may be unstable, or the picture may be otherwise distorted.

≥When you play back a tape recorded in the LP mode, the picture may be turned into monochrome. ≥When you play back a tape recorded in the EP mode, the picture and the sound may be unstable.

However, these are not malfunctions.
