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.
NOTE:
This model does not operate in BRAZIL (PAL-M) or ARGENTINA (PAL-N).

Playback

The recorder can play back all 3 types of recorded tape.
NOTE:
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.
