	or MESECAM and adjusts to the colour
	system being recorded or played back.
	When it does not perform properly, set the
	colour system manually.

	selectable modes; PAL/MESECAM/NTSC
	3.58/NTSC4.43. Select the mode that
	matches the colour signal being received.

	which allows NTSC tapes to be played
	back and viewed on PAL TVs.
