About the input line system
This recorder is compatible with PAL, SECAM, 3.58 NTSC and
Please note the following points when changing the input line system:
•When the current input is a
AV2 (INPUT 1/DECODER) input. However if the AV2/L1 In setting is set to Decoder, then the L2 input is affected instead.
•If, when the Input Line System setting is changed, the screen goes blank (due to incompatibility with your TV), you can switch back by pressing and holding the
front panel (Stop) button then pressing
INPUT SELECT (also front panel) while the recorder is stopped.
•When you switch the Input Line System setting the Copy List is erased. If you switch the setting using the
(Stop) button and INPUT SELECT 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 below).
