Information on Multi-System Compatibility

Off-Air Recording

The built-in multi-system tuner is capable of receiving PAL B/G, I and D/K, and SECAM B/G and D/K and NTSC* broadcasts.

Playback

This recorder can play back all 3 types of recorded tape.
NOTES:
When viewing NTSC tapes on a PAL TV set:
●The picture may shrink vertically with black bars appearing at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of the
video recorder nor the TV.
●The picture may roll up or 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.)
●During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.

ATTENTION:

When this recorder is connected to a multi-system TV, the audio signal may not be heard or may be noisy if the colour system select switch
of the TV is adjusted to the AUTO position. In such a case, set the TV’s colour system select switch to the appropriate position which
corresponds to the TV system you have selected at the TV System Select screen.
