NTSC Tape Play Back on PAL TV
When you play back an NTSC tape on your VCR, it is possible to use a PAL or multi-
system compatible TV. However, please note the following:
*The
picture will shrink vertically to some degree, as shown in the diagram, but this does
not indicate a malfunction in your TV or VCR.
l If your TV does not have a V-HOLD control, the picture may roll and be unwatchable.
However, if you use a TV with a V-HOLD control, you can stop the rolling by adjusting the
V-HOLD control and watch the picture.
l Horizontal noise bars may appear on the screen during special effect playback (video search, still, slow, frame
advance, and double speed playback), possibly accompanied by discolouring.
*Although NTSC tapes can be played back onto a PAL TV, those tapes cannot be dubbed by a PAL system
VCR connected to the AUDIO OUT and VIDEO OUT terminals of this product. Tapes recorded in this way
cannot be played back on PAL system VCRs.
l Set the COLOUR mode to AUTO.
If
the COLOUR mode is set to PAL, you cannot play back the tape.
