For standard PAL or SECAM recording, leave the input line system to 625System. When recording an NTSC or PAL–60 signal through an external input, change to 525System.

Note

When the current input is a built-in tuner channel preset, changing the input line system will usually also affect the input line system of the AV2/AUTO START REC (INPUT 1/DECODER) input. However if the AV2/L1 In setting is set to Decoder (see AV2/L1 In on page 102), then the L2 input is affected instead.

If when this setting is changed, the screen goes blank (due to incompatibility with your TV), you can switch back by pressing and holding the front panel

+button then pressing DVD (also front panel) while the recorder is stopped.

When you switch the Line Input System setting the Copy List is erased. If you switch the setting using the

+button and DVD buttons as described above, there is no confirmation, so please use with care.

You can’t mix recordings of different TV line systems on the same disc.

When you change this setting, the Input Colour System setting also changes (see Input Colour System on page 102).

When set to Off, signals arriving at the ANTENNA IN terminal and at the AV2/AUTO START REC (INPUT 1/ DECODER) AV connector are passed through to the ANTENNA OUT terminal and to the AV1(RGB)-TVAV connector, respectively, when the recorder is in standby.

You can cut the standby power consumption of the recorder by turning off the through function for one or both terminals:
