PAL/SECAM Playback and Recording

Since your video recorder is capable of recording/playback of two different colour system signals, PAL and SECAM, it is possible to convert PAL signals to SECAM signals and vice versa. This allows you to view a PAL tape on a SECAM TV, dub a PAL tape to a SECAM tape, and vice versa. You can select the appropriate setting in order to match the type of TV or another video recorder being used, referring to the tables as shown below and on the next page.

Set the OUTPUT SYSTEM CONVERTER switch to SECAM in order to convert the playback signals when you wish to view a PAL tape on a SECAM TV.

Set the OUTPUT SYSTEM CONVERTER switch to PAL in order to convert the playback signals when you wish to view a SECAM tape on a PAL TV.

If you set the OUTPUT SYSTEM CONVERTER switch to "OFF", the output signals will be the same as the one recorded on the cassette.

The output signal will also be converted when you are watching a programme during recording.

If you are using a dual-system (PAL/SECAM) TV, it is recommendable not to convert the playback signals with your video recorder for better picture quality.

VPS signals cannot be detected properly when the OUTPUT SYSTEM CONVERTER switch is set to PAL or SECAM.

If the OUTPUT SYSTEM CONVERTER switch is set to PAL or SECAM, the picture will be distorted momentarily when the video recorder is tuned to a different station or turned on/off.

The picture quality degrades if the signals are converted. Be sure to set the OUTPUT SYSTEM CONVERTER switch to "OFF" when it's not necessary to convert the signals.
