Automatic switch of special functions

Many functions (e.g. pause, still picture, search) switch themselves off automatically after a short time in order to protect the cassette and to save energy.

Do I need to change the playback speed when playing back LP recordings?

For playback, the correct recording speed 'SP' will automatically be selected. For more information, please read the section 'Selecting the recording speed (SP/LP)' in the chapter 'Manual recording'.

Playing back NTSC cassettes

ENGLISH

Cassettes that have been recorded in the NTSC standard (for example, American cassettes) can be played back using this video recorder. However, this only works on PAL-television sets which are suitable for a picture frequency of 60Hz.

When you play an NTSC cassette '60HZ' will appear on the display.

Some special features (for example, still picture) are not possible while you are playing an NTSC cassette.

Displaying current tape position

The display shows the tape position in hours, minutes and seconds. In addition, by pressing OK you can show the present tape position on the TV screen.

The following information is displayed on the screen:

e.g.: 0:02:45 Shows the tape position in hours, minutes and seconds.

Moving/blinking arrow: This indicates the current tape position. The arrow moves in a line from left (tape start) to right (tape end).

'REMAIN 0:06': will show the actual amount of playing/recording time left on the tape in hours and minutes.

When you play an NTSC cassette, the video recorder will not show 'REMAIN 0:06'.

How can I set the counter to '0:00:00'?

You can set the counter to '0:00:00' using CLEAR (CL) .

When you put a cassette in the machine, the counter will automatically reset to 0:00:00'.
