automatically detects PAL, NTSC, SECAM

 

or MESECAM and adjusts to the colour

 

system being recorded or played back.

 

When it does not perform properly, set the

 

colour system manually.

 

 

MANUAL

For recording, there is a choice of 4

 

selectable modes; PAL/MESECAM/NTSC

matches the colour signal being received.

 

For playback, there is an additional mode

 

which allows NTSC tapes to be played

 

back and viewed on PAL TVs.
