About NTSC Playback

 

Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of

 

the TV 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 tape remaining 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.

 

 

 AUTO POWER OFF

When this function is set to “3H”, the recorder is turned off automatically if

3H

no operation is done within 3 hours. “AUTO POWER OFF IN 3 MIN”
