●Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place
black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. This is
not a malfunction on the part of either the video
recorder or the TV.
●The picture may roll up and down. This can be
corrected using the V-HOLD control found on some
TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the TV does not
have a V-HOLD control.)
●The counter and elapsed tape time readings will be
incorrect.
●During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the
picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss of
colour.
●Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom
portions of superimposed displays may be cut off
during NTSC playback.

AUDIO MONITOR Soundtrack Selection
Your video recorder is capable of recording three
soundtracks (HI-FI L, HI-FI R and NORM) and will play
back the one you select.

During Playback

Pressing AUDIO MONITOR on the remote control
changes the soundtrack being played back as follows:
TRACK USE
Recorder's Front Panel
L + R For Hi-Fi stereo tapes
L For main audio of Bilingual tapes
R For sub audio of Bilingual tapes
NORM For audio-dubbed tapes
L + R + NORM For audio-dubbed tapes
NOTES:
●

"L + R" should normally be selected. In this mode, Hi-Fi

stereo tapes are played back in stereo, and the NORM

track is played back automatically for tapes with only

normal audio.

●

For instructions on recording NICAM stereo and

bilingual programmes, refer to page 18.

●

Bilingual programmes are not currently broadcast in the

U.K.
