≥When you start playback on the VCR, the TV is automatically switched to the VCR mode. However, during playback, it is not possible to switch the TV back to the TV mode.

≥If a Pay TV station has been selected on the VCR when you switch to the TV mode, the picture on the TV is scrambled when you select a Pay TV station on the TV. In this case, either switch to the VCR mode or select the AV input on the TV.

“RGB” means separate Red/Green/Blue colour signals. If you connect a TV equipped with RGB input capability to the AV1 socket ` on this VCR, and a decoder equipped with RGB output capability to the AV2 socket a, the TV can receive RGB signal input from the decoder via the VCR.
