NTSC Playback

Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back with this VCR via a PAL system TV.

Select [NTSC PB SELECT] from the on screen display according to the colour TV system of the TV.

(See page 13.)

NTSC 3.58 recording requires [NTSC INPUT SELECT] to be in the AUTO or 3.58 position (see page 13), however if [NTSC INPUT SELECT] is in this position when recording a NTSC 3.58 signal, no colour is available for the PAL TV. Once the recording is completed, you then need to select [on PAL TV] to view the recording in colour on PAL TV.

On some TVs, the playback picture may roll up or down; if your TV has V-HOLD control or equivalent adjustment function, use it to adjust the picture.

Note for only NTSC Playback on PAL system TV

This function is designed to allow only the playback of tapes recorded by NTSC signals on a PAL system TV. The NTSC signal is not completely converted to a PAL signal. For this reason, images played back by this function cannot be recorded correctly on other VCRs.
